Summary of the contracting process

The East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust is in the planning stage to award a contract for insourcing breast care and breast screening services under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) 2023. The procurement process is classified under the hospital services category with a CPV code 85111000. The contract, valued at £640,000, is intended to be awarded to Your World Medical Services, headquartered in London. The direct award will be made under the East of England framework RM6276, with the standstill period ending on 24 December 2025. The procurement is situated in the UKH14 region, specifically Colchester, and is utilising a competitive PSR procurement method for award decision-making.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those focused on breast care and screening, to grow by partnering with the East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust. The planned contract suggests potential business expansion in providing essential health services within the East of England. Companies with expertise in delivering high-quality hospital services and familiarity with government health procurement processes, such as the Provider Selection Regime, are suited to compete for and fulfil such contracts.

Provider Selection Regime (PSR)
Decision to carry out a Competitive Process and award a contract using the
framework provider direct award facility
ESNEFT2738 - Breast Clinic PSR Insourcing. Additional information: As of the 1st January 2024 the selection process to identify and award contracts to Providers
of healthcare services has been removed from the Public Contract Regulations 2015 and are
now part of the new Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This report is to seek approval to
award a contract under the PSR procedures. The PSR process provides greater flexibility
than the traditional procurement procedures through a number of routes to award contracts.
These include Direct Awards (under specific circumstances), Most Capable Provider, and
Competition. Whilst the PSR process provides greater flexibility, ESNEFT's default starting
position for the selection of a Provider and award of contracts under PSR is competition and
Value for Money.
The DMT confirm that they have completed the PSR decision making toolkit for making a
PSR contract award using the competitive process. A copy of this will be made available for
the commercial folder.
