Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wrightington Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust procured independent-sector surgical hospital services to support its patients undergoing procedures at Spire Healthcare. The work is intended to relieve pressure on the Trust’s capacity and reduce waiting-list times, forming part of the Trust’s surgical pathway. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s services in Wigan and with Spire Healthcare’s trading address in Manchester, while the supplier’s registered address is in London. This is a healthcare services requirement rather than a supply of medical goods or construction works. The relevant classification is surgical hospital services (CPV 85111100). The procurement was for the Trust’s patient activity to be carried out through an independent healthcare provider.

The procurement has reached completion and the contract was awarded to Spire Healthcare Limited, which is recorded as the active supplier. The contract was signed on 8 July 2026 for £300,000. The award date is not stated separately. The procedure was a selective process described as an innovation partnership, with price as the award criterion. One lot covered the surgical pathway requirement; that lot is recorded as cancelled, while the related award and contract remain active. One bid was recorded for the lot. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. Wrightington Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust was the buyer and Spire Healthcare Limited the selected supplier.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Wrightington Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust for independent-sector hospital capacity supporting NHS surgical pathways. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide surgical hospital services for the Trust’s patients, work as part of an established patient pathway, and help absorb activity when NHS capacity is under pressure. Relevant capability includes access to suitable hospital facilities, clinical teams able to undertake the required procedures, and the operational systems needed to coordinate patient treatment with the Trust. The requirement also indicates that buyers may value a provider able to deliver activity at meaningful scale, reduce waiting times, and work reliably with NHS processes. Large independent healthcare providers are the clearest comparator.
