Summary of the contracting process

The James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, located in Great Yarmouth, has completed the tender process for the provision of hospital-at-home services under a contract valued at approximately £430,528. The contract, awarded through a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) using direct award process C, commenced on 28th March 2026. This procurement falls under the services industry category specifically focused on hospital and related services, with the main procurement locations being the UKH15 region. The procurement method was a limited one, conducted as an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, targeting continuity with the existing supplier, HomeLink Healthcare Ltd.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those that offer clinical services directly to patients' homes. Companies capable of delivering high-quality care, such as IV therapy, wound management, and phlebotomy services, would find prospects for growth in such contracts. Organisations that have a nurse-led staff provision and uphold strong patient safety and quality care standards, aligned with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration, are well-suited to compete in this sector. As the NHS continues to innovate home-based healthcare solutions, businesses in this niche can leverage this trend for sustainable growth.
