Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Stockport NHS Foundation Trust procured outsourced elective healthcare services, classified as surgical hospital services. The requirement is for a provider to deliver elective treatment and associated hospital-based surgical activity for the Trust. The named buyer is Stockport NHS Foundation Trust, based at Stepping Hill Hospital in Hazel Grove, Stockport. The selected provider is Spire Healthcare Limited trading as Spire Manchester Hospital, based in Manchester. The procurement concerns healthcare services rather than goods, construction or general consultancy. The published scope does not break the service into individual procedures, specialties or activity volumes. It is a new arrangement for this requirement, established through a framework agreement and intended to support the Trust’s elective services provision.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Spire Healthcare Limited t/a Spire Manchester Hospital on 8 June 2026. The contract runs from 8 June 2026 to 7 June 2028. Its published contract value is £0.10, although payments are to be made using the national tariff for the relevant activity; the notice also states that activity is not guaranteed. The award was made under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using a limited procedure without prior publication or competition, based on a framework agreement. Evaluation was solely on cost, applying the criteria described in that framework agreement. One bid was recorded. The award is active.

This award demonstrates demand from Stockport NHS Foundation Trust for outsourced elective surgical hospital services delivered through a framework-based, non-competitive award route. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable future requirement would need suitable hospital infrastructure, clinical teams and operational capacity to provide elective surgical care for an NHS foundation trust. They would also need to work within the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime and the relevant framework agreement, with pricing and payment linked to national tariff activity. The successful supplier is a large healthcare provider operating from Manchester, indicating that an established hospital operator with regional capacity and experience in NHS elective provision is well placed. The requirement is activity-based, so credible providers would need to manage variable demand without guaranteed volumes.
