Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by the Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust, involves an intention to award notice for the "Second Opinion Service" contract under the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023. The contracting party, Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust, is a public body based in Sheffield, United Kingdom, aiming to enhance health services, classified under CPV code 85100000. The procurement, conducted without a prior call for competition, falls outside typical public procurement directives. The contract, which is currently in the award stage, concerns providing second opinions at the Michael Carlisle Centre in Sheffield. The standstill period is set until midnight on 1st October 2025, with the contract initially valued at £24,900 for a six-month term, with potential extensions available.

This procurement provides significant opportunities for businesses within the healthcare sector, particularly those experienced in clinical evaluation and consultation services. The criteria stress the importance of value, integration, and social value, which could appeal to innovative SMEs like "Your GP," the active supplier. Given the contract's focus on offering expert second opinions for surgical referrals at the Sheffield Gender Identity Clinic, businesses that specialise in clinical consultancy or have expertise in gender identity healthcare services are well-suited to compete in this space. The contract encourages collaboration and service sustainability, which could drive business growth and enable further involvement in public health tenders.
