Summary of the contracting process

The contract for the provision of Musculoskeletal (MSK) Services was originally awarded under the title "Pain Management Services MSK Outsourced" and is related to community health services. The procurement process, managed by East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, took place prior to the services being integrated into the Trust's current management, hence it sits outside their arrangements. The notice has been published retrospectively for transparency. This procurement, which falls under the award procedure without prior publication, was completed and awarded on the 1st of December 2024. Connect Health Pain Services Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Newcastle Upon Tyne, was selected as the supplier for this contract. The service is intended for the delivery in the UKJ22 region, specifically under the East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses in the healthcare services sector, particularly those specialising in pain management and musculoskeletal services. Companies with expertise in providing effective community health services would find this tender relevant, especially if they can deliver services without the direct management integration within larger NHS frameworks. The award to Connect Health Pain Services Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise, highlights the potential for similar-sized businesses to successfully secure contracts with public health trusts. Engaging in such contracts could facilitate business expansion, provide stable revenue streams, and enhance reputation through association with government health initiatives.
