Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust procured specialised paediatric outreach services for patients receiving care at EDGH and Conquest. The requirement covers paediatric clinical services, including different specialist paediatric disciplines needed to care for the relevant patient cohort. Services were to be provided by Evelina London Children's Hospital, a specialist children’s hospital based in London. The buying organisation is East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, an NHS health body based in St Leonards-on-Sea. This opportunity is relevant to providers of specialist paediatric healthcare, paediatric outreach and hospital-supported clinical services able to work across the Trust’s EDGH and Conquest sites. The procurement was treated as a services requirement rather than goods or construction work.

The procurement has reached completion and was awarded to Evelina London Children's Hospital. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026 for £85,542.08. It used a limited procedure, specifically an award without prior publication of a call for competition, rather than an open competition. The Trust’s stated rationale was that no other providers could deliver the different specialties required for this patient cohort. One supplier bid was recorded. The award was assessed on price. The procurement was structured as one lot for specialised paediatric services provided by Evelina Children's Hospital, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while the related award is active. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust for specialist paediatric outreach delivered by a children’s hospital with access to several clinical specialties. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability across the paediatric disciplines required for the patient cohort, together with the clinical governance, specialist workforce and hospital infrastructure needed to deliver care safely across EDGH and Conquest. Providers should be able to coordinate with an NHS trust, support patients outside the specialist hospital setting and provide consistent clinical input across more than one site. The buyer’s justification indicates that breadth of specialist provision was central to supplier selection, while price was the recorded evaluation basis. Specialist children’s hospitals and established paediatric healthcare providers are therefore the closest comparator businesses.
