Summary of the contracting process

NHS Grampian is procuring outsourced general surgery services focused on colorectal surgery. This is a healthcare services requirement, including medical specialist services and services provided by medical personnel. The work is intended to support the NHS Grampian region and will be delivered from the successful supplier’s site or sites across that region, rather than from a specified NHS premises. The requirement is managed by NHS Grampian, based in Aberdeen. It is suited to organisations able to provide an outsourced colorectal general surgery service and coordinate delivery across the NHS Grampian area. The procurement covers one service package, with the requirement described as general surgery outsourcing for colorectal care.

The procurement reached the tender stage: NHS Grampian invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically by 12:00 on 31 August 2026. Bid opening was scheduled for 12:00 on 1 September 2026, with evaluation beginning at that time. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, with two possible one-year extension options, subject to funding. Offers were to remain valid until 30 September 2026. Evaluation is split equally between quality and cost, at 50% each. Suppliers must complete the Single Procurement Document in the electronic tendering system, and variants are not permitted. Electronic ordering and payment apply, with electronic invoicing allowed.

This opportunity suits specialist healthcare providers able to deliver outsourced colorectal general surgery using appropriately qualified medical personnel. Suppliers should be capable of providing the service from their own site or sites across the NHS Grampian region and of managing delivery as an outsourced clinical service. The tender requires bidders to provide the names and professional qualifications of the staff assigned to perform the contract, so organisations need suitable clinical personnel identified at bid stage. Participation is open to any supplier able to meet the stated specification, subject to completing the required Single Procurement Document. It may suit established surgical providers, independent hospitals, clinical service organisations and collaborative teams with relevant colorectal surgery capability.
