Summary of the contracting process

Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust commissioned an insourcing arrangement for elective care, classified as health services. The work concerns providing elective care through an insourcing arrangement; the procurement does not describe particular specialties, procedures or staffing roles. Delivery is associated with Greater Manchester. The buyer is Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. The arrangement is identified as Lot 3, but the published description does not explain its detailed scope beyond elective care insourcing. This is a healthcare services requirement, relevant to organisations that provide or support elective care delivery and can work with an NHS foundation trust in Greater Manchester.

The procurement is recorded as complete, with an active award to Healthcare Business Solutions (UK) Limited and an active contract. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026. The process used a limited procedure without a prior call for competition, on the stated basis that it met PSR Direct Award C conditions for repeating existing services. The award criterion was price. One bid was recorded, with a valid bid value of £1,273,000; the contract’s awarded value is not separately stated. The procurement identifies one lot, although its status is recorded as cancelled while the award and contract are active. No contract duration or end date is stated.

This award demonstrates demand from Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust for elective care delivered through an insourcing arrangement, using a direct award route justified as repetition of existing services. A supplier seeking to compete if this requirement returns would need a credible ability to provide elective care services for an NHS trust and to make a price-led offer. The recorded outcome shows that Healthcare Business Solutions (UK) Limited, identified as an SME, was selected after one bid was recorded. The available description does not identify particular clinical specialties, qualifications, accreditations, staffing levels or service volumes, so it does not establish a more specific capability profile. The relevant commercial focus is therefore elective care insourcing for this buyer, rather than healthcare services generally.
