Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust intends to award a contract for outsourcing dermatology services under the Provider Selection Regime, as per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement process bypasses the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, following a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. This project falls within the services category and targets dermatology services, with the aim of servicing Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust in Truro, region UKK30. The official standstill period started on 20th March 2026, with representations required by 1st April 2026. The award decision is managed by the General Manager, and Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust acts as the buyer.

This tender presents significant opportunities for medical service providers, specifically those offering specialised dermatology services. As the procurement process is under the Provider Selection Regime, businesses with a track record of delivering high-quality healthcare services and meeting rigorous healthcare standards will be well-suited to compete. Three Spires Medical Practice, identified as an SME, is already positioned as a supplier, hinting at further openings for small and medium-sized enterprises to expand their services and establish a foothold within the healthcare services sector at Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust.
