Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Provision of Staffing Neurophysiology Outpatient Capacity on Evenings and Weekends" was conducted by the University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust. This initiative falls under the "Health services" industry category. The services are specifically intended for the Royal Stoke University Hospital's Neurophysiology Department, located in Stoke on Trent. This contract was awarded through the Countess of Chester Insourced and Outsourced Clinical Services Framework and was completed on the 1st of July 2026. The procurement utilised a limited method without prior publication due to its specifics falling outside the usual directive's scope, and the contract includes an option for a 6-month extension up to 30th September 2027.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those experienced in providing neurophysiology services. The procurement was operated via a mini competition, which implies an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to compete effectively. The awarded supplier, NeurophysCare LTD, an SME based in Solihull, demonstrates that similar businesses with capabilities in delivering specialised health services may find comparable opportunities rewarding. As the buyer sought an insourcing contract, firms capable of integrating their services with existing hospital infrastructure are well-suited to pursue such contracts.
