Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process detailed involves NHS Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board (ICB) and focuses on a contract titled "Spire Norwich Hospital 2023-2024," under the industry category of surgical hospital services. The services are to be provided in the Norfolk and Waveney region (UKH15). This contract has been awarded following urgent circumstances and modified to include an extension from 31st August 2025 to 31st March 2026. The total contract value amounts to £5,372,414, with this amendment increasing the estimated value by £1,844,638 due to new service conditions under NHS England's 25/26 Service Conditions. The procurement is in the Award stage and the final decision was made on 29th August 2025.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in elective surgeries such as procedures for hips, knees, shoulders, foot and ankle, and spinal. Given that a Direct Award Process B is still open, new providers capable of offering these services have the potential to enter the market despite the urgent nature of the current award. This creates an opportunity for healthcare providers to expand within the NHS framework, especially if they can match or exceed the standards set by the current supplier, Spire Healthcare Limited, a large-scale organisation based in London. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the NHS Norfolk and Waveney ICB to express interest in future tender opportunities.

    "description": "This contract has been awarded under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Health Care Services Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Procurement Act Regulations 2024 do not apply to this award. The urgent nature of this modification was not foreseeable by or attributable to the relevant authority. The NHSE further consultation on the NHS Standard Contract was not finalised until 8th May 2025. The new service conditions allowed the commissioner to set an Indicative Activity Plan for the Contract Year where an IAP could not be agreed after a period of time. Because the contract ends part way through the year (31/08/2025) and the financial position an urgent modification has been put in place to allow the commissioner to manage activity for the year and to ensure there is no significant risk to patients who have planned surgery with the provider. This award has no impact on market opportunities for these services to potential new providers, a Direct Award Process B may still be undertaken if a new provider wishes to provide these services to Norfolk and Waveney Service Users. Any providers who are reading this notice and wish to provide the same services are welcome to contact the commissioner at nwicb.contractsandprocurement@nhs.net This decision was made by Associate Director of Contracting and Procurement and approved by Norfolk and Waveney ICB Executive Director of Finance on 29th August 2025. No conflicts or potential conflicts of interest were declared.",
