Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust has issued an intention to award notice for the procurement of heart valves under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), specifically adhering to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This process is conducted without the application of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This contract pertains to health services, specifically under the CPV code 85100000, and marks the beginning of the standstill period, with providers required to submit any representations by 6th July 2026. The limited procurement method, without a prior call for competition, is facilitated to fulfil specific healthcare service needs in the UKF2 region, with the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust expected as the active supplier.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare services industry, particularly those specialising in medical devices and heart valve supplies. The direct award route under PSR is ideal for suppliers with the capacity and expertise to meet the specific needs of NHS trusts, promoting growth in partnerships with well-established public health organisations. Larger manufacturers or suppliers with an efficient supply chain and compliance with health service regulations would be particularly well-suited to leverage such procurement opportunities for business expansion.
