Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust involves a contract for "C&C Heart Valves Human Tissue" under the industry category of health services. This notice is part of a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award, applicable to the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, bypassing the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement method used is a limited procedure, involving award without prior competition, and is intended for delivery in Leicester, UKF21. Although the contract is at the award stage as of 9th July 2026, formal award confirmation will follow after the standstill period, ending on 23rd July 2026. The main delivery address remains within Leicester, showcasing the regional focus of this healthcare-related procurement.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses within the health services sector to leverage specialised services in tissue and cellular products, fostering growth in a niche market. Businesses suited to this opportunity are those experienced in healthcare service provision, particularly in innovative cardiac solutions, due to the specific demand for heart valve products. The procurement is particularly relevant to entities capable of aligning with the strategic delivery goals of health trusts like the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, and those proficient in navigating PSR frameworks, offering a competitive edge in direct award procedures. Such businesses can form valuable partnerships with leading healthcare providers like the Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, as demonstrated by their involvement as a supplier in this process.
