Summary of the contracting process

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust has completed a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) process to award a contract for "Outpatient Network Dermatology Insourcing" aimed at reducing the backlog for 150 new patients. The contract, governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, does not fall under the usual Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and was awarded outside the conventional competitive process. The service, classified under Medical hospital services, is to be provided at the Trust's facility in King's Lynn (UKH16) and runs from 1st May 2026 to 31st May 2026, with a contract value of £20,250. The award was made through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, and OUTPATIENT NETWORK LIMITED has been selected as the supplier.

This tender offers opportunities primarily for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in medical insourcing, particularly in dermatology. Given the non-competitive nature of this award, businesses well-suited to similar opportunities would likely have a proven track record in providing efficient and cost-effective healthcare solutions. Although this awarding method precluded typical competition, broader engagement in similar future healthcare tenders could present growth prospects for businesses that excel in swift deployment, scalability, and compliance with healthcare regulations. Being aligned with the Provider Selection Regime ensures that such enterprises can contribute significantly to the public healthcare sector by addressing patient backlogs and improving service delivery timelines.
