Summary of the contracting process

Ashford and St Peter's Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a 12-month contract valued at GBP 181,200 to NES Holdings Ltd for providing Resident Medical Officer (RMO) services at Ashford Hospital. This procurement falls under the Health Care Services category and is significant for the region of UKJ. The process was executed under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, with an urgent award in compliance with regulation 14(2) due to clinical urgency, bypassing ordinary Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement method was limited and conducted without prior publication, influenced by unforeseeable extreme urgency, as detailed in the procurement method rationale. The contract was signed on 31st October 2025, and the procurement process progressed directly to the award stage.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those capable of efficiently managing clinical governance and staff management in a hospital setting. Companies with large-scale operations, akin to NES Holdings Ltd, are well-suited to deliver such services under strict time constraints. Market research during the contract term may open future competitive bidding opportunities, making this an attractive prospect for businesses eager to expand in the healthcare domain. The contract highlights the potential for growth within the healthcare services industry, particularly for those able to respond to urgent and unforeseen demands in the sector.
