Summary of the contracting process

The Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust is managing a procurement process titled "DGT - Vascular Service (Insourcing)" for the provision of insourced clinical vascular services. This tender falls under the medical specialist services category, with operations based in the South East, specifically in Dartford, UKJ4 region. The procurement is currently in the planning and tender stage, with a notable deadline on 16th July 2026 for tender submissions. It is being conducted using a selective procurement method via a restricted procedure. The contract value is estimated at £300,000 with a contract period from 28th July 2026 to 27th July 2027, and potential for a two-year renewal.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical specialist services to enhance their portfolios by providing essential healthcare services within the NHS framework. Given the selective nature of the procurement method, businesses with a strong track record in healthcare provision and those capable of delivering value through competitive pricing will be well-suited to compete. Companies capable of forming framework agreements will find this particularly advantageous as it may lead to further collaborative opportunities within the NHS's strategic network aimed at integrating healthcare services. The focus on price as the award criteria underscores the importance of cost-effective solutions in this tender process.
