Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by the James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, focuses on the provision of hospital-at-home services within the region of Great Yarmouth, UKH15. The contract, titled "Provision of hospital at home services", falls under the industry category of hospital services (CPV: 85111000). The procurement method has primarily been a direct award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, outside the scope of Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The most recent formal award completion was on 21st October 2025, with the initial contract signed on 8th October 2025 and set to end on 29th March 2025.

This contract represents valuable business growth opportunities, particularly for healthcare service providers who can offer comprehensive, quality care services in patients' homes. The James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust values partnerships that prioritise patient safety, quality of care, and cost-effectiveness, qualities evident in the selection of HomeLink Healthcare Ltd, a large-scale supplier. Businesses that are capable of providing IV therapy, wound management, and phlebotomy services at patients' homes, while delivering continuity of care and meeting CQC registration requirements, would be well-positioned for similar future opportunities. The direct award process underscores the significance of maintaining a trusted relationship with healthcare providers who consistently meet high standards.
