Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust procured general surgery procedures to reduce its waiting list. The requirement is for surgical hospital services, covering the delivery of general surgery procedures rather than the supply of equipment or standalone consultancy. The buying organisation is an NHS foundation trust based on Gayton Road, King’s Lynn. The selected provider is Spire Healthcare Limited, a large healthcare company. The work is associated with the Trust’s healthcare service requirements in the King’s Lynn area. The procurement was made under the urgent circumstances provisions of the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, rather than the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. It was a single requirement, although the recorded lot status is cancelled while the related award remains active.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Trust used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, under the urgent Provider Selection Regime process. Spire Healthcare Limited was selected as the supplier, with an award value of £746,971. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and runs from 20 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Price was the stated award criterion. One bid was recorded, and its value was £746,971; the highest and lowest valid bid values were therefore also £746,971. The award is active and the contract is active. The underlying lot is recorded as cancelled, but the published award and signed contract identify Spire Healthcare Limited as the appointed provider.

This award shows demand from an NHS foundation trust for outsourced general surgery capacity aimed at reducing a waiting list. A credible future competitor would need to provide hospital-based general surgery procedures at sufficient scale to support NHS waiting-list recovery, with the clinical facilities, surgical teams and operational capacity needed to deliver planned procedures. Experience of working with NHS trusts and managing service delivery against agreed requirements would be commercially relevant. The route used is important: the Trust made an urgent healthcare-services award without a prior call for competition under the Provider Selection Regime. Suppliers monitoring this buyer should therefore understand that urgent capacity requirements may be handled through provider-selection arrangements rather than a conventional open tender.
