UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, a prominent public authority within the central government sector, is initiating the procurement process for a Theatres Managed Service to enhance surgical services at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and Cheltenham General Hospital. This procurement is currently at the planning stage, with significant documentation released on 30 June 2026 outlining the scope for delivering comprehensive theatre management and associated services. Key dates include a future notice publication anticipated on 1 October 2026. The contract is positioned within the services category, with operations based in the UKK13 region of the United Kingdom. The procurement is intended to support the NHS Trust's perioperative service delivery and may extend to Image Guided Interventional Surgery (IGIS) services.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the healthcare and technical support sectors, to engage with a large-scale, multi-year contract valued significantly in the millions of pounds. Companies specialising in theatre consumables, inventory management, clinical and technical support, as well as refurbishments and maintenance, can find this opportunity beneficial for business growth. Given the procurement's broad scope and value, it is suited for businesses capable of providing innovative solutions and optimising healthcare delivery within the surgical and potentially interventional domains. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with innovative solutions in these fields are encouraged to engage, especially during the preliminary market engagement phase to influence the scope and requirements of the final procurement notice.
