Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust, which has awarded a contract titled "FOR THE PROVISION OF MEDICAL COVER FOR INTERMEDIATE CARE BEDS" within the industry category of hospital services. This contract, valued at £78,000, will run from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027 and covers the provision of primary care general medical services for patients in NHS beds at a specified care home in the UKH16 region. It was awarded following Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, bypassing the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, and aims to accommodate up to 30 patients. The procurement stage is complete, and the award process was executed without prior publication of a call for competition.

This tender creates significant opportunities for healthcare providers with a focus on medical services in intermediate care settings. Businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those with experience in hospital services, are well-suited to compete for such opportunities. The contract provides potential growth for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering high-quality medical services efficiently. Companies that possess a strong local presence, within three miles of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, are likely to benefit greatly due to the location-specific requirements outlined in the service specifications, making it ideal for those already integrated within the local healthcare system.
