Summary of the contracting process

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust has facilitated a procurement process titled 'Medacs Anaesthetics Insourcing', focusing on surgical hospital services within the 'services' industry category. Located in King's Lynn, United Kingdom (region UKH16), the process pertains to the awarding stage, with the contract running from 20th July 2026 to 31st March 2027. This procurement utilised a limited award procedure, executed under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and did not involve a prior call for competition. MEDACS HEALTHCARE LIMITED has been identified as the supplier, following an award without competition based on a framework agreement, as confirmed on 14th July 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses in the healthcare service sector, capable of insourcing anaesthetics and pain management services. Given that the process employed a limited procurement method, businesses with a strategic focus on niche healthcare services and possessing a strong reputation and compliance with health regulations may find competitive advantage. The focus on price and cost-effectiveness can encourage cost-efficient and innovative service models. Large-scale suppliers with established frameworks in place are likely well-suited to engage with such procurement opportunities, especially those proficient in providing specialised healthcare services under NHS frameworks.
