Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust procured elective outpatient hysteroscopy procedures for patients in Southampton. The requirement covers delivery of agreed outpatient hysteroscopy activity, including theatre facilities, associated clinical and support staffing, an anaesthetist, a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist, and the basic consumables needed for treatment. This is a specialist healthcare service procurement, classified under medical specialist services. The buyer is an NHS foundation trust based in Southampton. The appointed provider is responsible for delivering the service as a complete outpatient package rather than supplying clinical staff or equipment separately. The requirement therefore suits providers able to combine appropriate facilities, clinical personnel, anaesthetic support and consumables within a managed hysteroscopy service.

The procurement has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract was awarded to MEDICANA WINCHESTER LIMITED on 25 August 2026, following a framework-based procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. One bid was recorded, and cost was the stated evaluation basis, weighted at 100% under the framework agreement. The contract value is £400,000 including the optional six-month extension. The service period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 January 2028, with the extension option available. The contract is active and the award is active. The arrangement was made without competition under the applicable provider selection route, rather than through an open tender under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This award shows demand from University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust for a fully managed outpatient hysteroscopy service, with the provider supplying the clinical environment, workforce and consumables as well as treatment. Competitors would need credible capability in elective hysteroscopy and the capacity to deliver planned outpatient activity safely at the required scale. Relevant strength would include suitable theatre or procedure facilities, appropriately qualified staffing, access to anaesthetists and consultant obstetrician-gynaecologists, and reliable arrangements for basic consumables and clinical governance. The award of a complete service to an SME indicates that a specialist independent provider can compete where it can evidence operational capacity and clinical delivery. Experience of NHS healthcare services, provider selection arrangements and framework-based awards would also be commercially relevant.
