The contracting stage is award, with contracts signed on 16th December 2025 and services commencing on 1st April 2026. This initiative focuses on providing specialised healthcare services across the United Kingdom, categorised under health services (CPV: 85100000). The procurement method employed was a direct award process without prior publication, as the regime falls outside the scope of standard directives.

The contract provides opportunities for large healthcare organisations with the capacity to deliver complex services and infrastructure for conditions like TTP, enabling them to further expand their service offerings and establish specialised care units. This procurement directly appoints NHS Foundation Trusts, signifying exclusive opportunities primarily for those already established within the healthcare sector, thereby fostering growth in specialised healthcare capabilities and cementing partnerships within the NHS landscape. The high-value service requirements necessitate providers with comprehensive specialist teams, particularly those adept in rapid treatment protocols, educational outreach programmes, and comprehensive aftercare strategies.
