Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, initiated by Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust, focuses on the provision of musculoskeletal (MSK) and podiatry postal services for letters to patients. The contract, titled "Synertec Provision of DMSK and Podiatry Postage of Letters," falls under the services category, specifically postal services related to letters. The procurement was completed through a direct method, without competition, classified as "Below threshold." Located in Poole, United Kingdom, in the UKK24 region, the project commenced on 1st October 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st August 2026. This update was supported to create a call-off order. The contract was awarded to Synertec Limited on 28th January 2026, following the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender presents a significant business opportunity for companies specialising in postal and mailing services, particularly those already engaged with the healthcare sector. The direct procurement method indicates that smaller firms capable of providing specialised, tailored services could find similar opportunities with other public organisations. With a total contract value of £30,000, businesses equipped to handle service contracts beneath major thresholds can leverage such projects to expand their portfolio. The industry linkage with public healthcare services highlights the potential for those enterprises with existing NHS relationships or those seeking to enter this vital sector.
