Summary of the contracting process

Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust is procuring outsourced elective gynaecology services for its patients. The requirement covers the complete clinical pathway, from first outpatient appointment through consultation, diagnostics, investigations, treatment planning, medical management and treatment, to follow-up and discharge to the referring clinician or GP. Services cover general gynaecology, vulval disorders and menopause care, including hysterectomy, diagnostic laparoscopy, cystectomy, endometrial ablation, anterior and posterior repairs, and prolapse surgery. The provider must manage patients under its clinical responsibility throughout the pathway, provide suitable diagnostic and treatment facilities, escalate urgent cancer, emergency or tertiary-care cases, and securely manage records and correspondence. Delivery is for the Trust and its local patient population, centred on Barking, Havering and Redbridge, with provision through Nuffield Health’s Holly Hospital in Essex.

The procurement has reached completion and the contract was awarded to Nuffield Health (The Holly Hospital). It used the Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process C, rather than an open competition, with the incumbent provider selected because of service quality, pathway integration, value for money, local accessibility and the disruption associated with changing provider. The award date was 14 August 2026. The awarded value is £310,000 gross in GBP, for a contract period from 3 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. There was one completed lot, identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The main category is health services. Evaluation was based on the five Provider Selection Regime key criteria, which were assessed and documented internally. A signature milestone was scheduled for 3 September 2026.

This outcome demonstrates demand for end-to-end outsourced elective gynaecology pathways from an NHS acute trust, at a scale involving approximately 500 patients awaiting treatment. Credible future competitors will need consultant-led capability across general gynaecology, vulval disorders and menopause services, together with the facilities and clinical workforce to deliver consultations, diagnostics, investigations, procedures, surgery, follow-up and discharge without unnecessary transfers. Providers should be able to maintain clinical responsibility throughout each patient pathway, manage waiting-list reduction and patient access, and offer a locally accessible service. Strong information governance is essential for secure patient records and prompt, clinically complete discharge correspondence. Competitors will also need robust escalation arrangements for urgent cancer assessment, emergency care and specialist tertiary services, plus evidence of high-quality, integrated and value-for-money delivery.
