Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, which was seeking a provider for insourced orthopaedic services specifically in the Yeovil area, with services to be primarily rendered at Yeovil District Hospital. This initiative falls within the surgical hospital services category under the procurement of services. The competitive process adhered to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, excluding provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Initially initiated on 17 September 2025, this open procedure procurement method has now reached the award stage with Yeovil Orthopaedic Clinic confirmed as the supplier. The contract, valued at approximately £250,000, is set to commence on 1 December 2025, and conclude on 30 November 2026, with a potential for a 12-month extension.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare services, particularly those specialising in orthopaedics. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like Yeovil Orthopaedic Clinic, which can provide high-quality, innovative services while maintaining competitive pricing, are well-suited to compete effectively. The primary objectives include reducing patient waiting times and supporting the recovery of elective care services, making this an ideal prospect for businesses that focus on healthcare service delivery, innovation, and integration. Participation in such a competitive procurement process could enhance a business's profile and open doors to future collaborations within the public health sector.
