Summary of the contracting process

The Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is set to award a contract for the provision of patient transport services under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This contract falls within the health services sector and will cater to the Northern General Hospital and Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield. The project, tagged with industry category 85100000, had its contract signed on 17th March 2026 and was planned as a limited procurement without prior publication due to regulatory exemptions. Although the procurement stage is marked as complete, the award is pending formal confirmation per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in patient transport services, particularly those with expertise in providing safe, timely, and comfortable transportation for patients. The procurement process was designed to identify quality providers with no realistic alternatives, placing emphasis on delivering premium service. Companies like 365 Group Ltd, which is a small to medium-sized enterprise, are well-suited to compete given the specified procurement criteria of 90% quality-focused and 10% price-based assessment. With a contract value of £265,000, this presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses capable of meeting the specialised demands of the healthcare sector in Sheffield and surrounding areas.
