Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust bought specialist clinical neurophysiology services: Electromyography (EMG) clinics, complex nerve conduction studies (CNS) and single-fibre EMGs. The procurement is classed as health services and is intended to support the Trust’s clinical activity in Lincolnshire. The work covers the delivery of diagnostic testing and associated specialist clinic provision, rather than general medical staffing or equipment supply. The named buyer is United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, based at Lincoln County Hospital in Lincoln. The selected supplier, Bespoke Healthcare, is based in Preston. The requirement was sourced through the NHSBS Framework Agreement for Clinical Insourcing, indicating that the buyer used an established route for obtaining outsourced clinical capacity.

The procurement is complete: Bespoke Healthcare was awarded the contract and the contract was signed on 14 August 2026. The contract value is £307,200. It was awarded through the NHSBS Framework Agreement for Clinical Insourcing using a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition; the stated rationale is that the framework route did not require a competitive tender. The award was evaluated on price. One bid was recorded. The published procurement contains one lot, although that lot is marked cancelled while the associated award is active and the contract is active. The award and contract carry the same title as the requirement for EMG, complex nerve conduction studies and single-fibre EMGs.

This award demonstrates demand from United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for outsourced specialist neurophysiology capacity, at a scale requiring a credible clinical service provider rather than a general healthcare agency. A future competitor would need demonstrable capability to run EMG clinics and deliver complex nerve conduction studies and single-fibre EMGs safely and consistently. Relevant strengths would include appropriately qualified clinicians, access to the specialist diagnostic equipment and systems needed for these investigations, and the operational capacity to provide clinic-based services for an NHS trust. The award was made through the NHSBS clinical insourcing framework, so suppliers seeking similar work with this buyer would also need to understand that framework route and meet its supplier requirements. Price was the recorded evaluation basis, making cost control important alongside clinical delivery capability.
