Summary of the contracting process

The Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has concluded its intention to award a contract for the provision of insourced perfusion services to Assured Perfusion and Medical Services Limited. The procurement is categorised under medical specialist services and utilises the Provider Selection Regime as stipulated by the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. The contract will commence on 1st March 2026 and is scheduled to run until 31st March 2027, with an option to extend for an additional three months, achieving an estimated total value of £320,000. Released on 25th March 2026, this announcement follows the completion of the standstill period for representations by providers, which ended on 25th February 2026. The contract location is primarily within Hull Royal Infirmary and other sites operated by the Trust in Hull, United Kingdom.

This contract offering enhances opportunities for businesses specialising in clinical perfusion and surgical care practitioner services to expand their market presence. Suitable candidates for competition include SMEs with robust service offerings capable of meeting stringent NHS requirements, including experience, training, and professional compliance like DBS checks and IR35 Legislation adherence. The collaboration is expected to bolster employment within the local community and boost accessibility and patient choice within the Trust's healthcare system. This procurement will necessitate qualified personnel with credentials from recognised bodies such as the Society of Clinical Perfusion Scientists of Great Britain & Ireland, making it an attractive opportunity for firms targeting growth in the healthcare sector.
