Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust, pertains to the award of a services contract under the Provider Selection Regime for "Outpatient Network Gastroenterology Insourcing." This contract is specifically aimed at facilitating 320 new outpatient appointments in the field of medical hospital services, focusing on gastroenterology within the UKH16 region. The contract, valued at £50,678.40, was finalised on 26th June 2026, and is scheduled to be executed between 27th June and 31st July 2026. The procurement was conducted via a limited method without prior publication of a competitive call, adhering to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, bypassing the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in medical hospital services and with experience in insourcing gastroenterology services. Companies that are adept at efficiently providing comprehensive outpatient care and managing rapid appointment backlogs stand to benefit from such procurement opportunities. The contract's framework agreement structure offers stability and clarity in requirements, and although competition in this instance was not solicited, similar future opportunities could be instrumental in enhancing a business’s portfolio within the public health sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises with capabilities in these areas might find such contracts particularly advantageous for growing their market footprint and demonstrating value in public service delivery.
