Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust intends to procure a dedicated dermatology and plastic surgery recovery service, delivered through an insourcing model at the Trust’s acute sites. The service is intended to reduce backlogs in surgical and minor operations waiting lists and reporting, meet agreed turnaround times, and maintain clinical quality and compliance. This is healthcare clinical support, including hospital surgical services (CPV 85111100). The supplier is expected to provide additional clinical resources to help the Trust manage rising patient waiting times and reduce the risk of missing waiting-time and cancer targets.

This is at the planning stage: the Trust has stated its intention to procure, but there is no invitation to tender in this process. It expects to use the Provider Selection Regime and a further competition through the Workforce Alliance Clinical and Healthcare Staffing framework. The stated estimated value is £833,560 excluding VAT (£1,000,272 including VAT), subject to service volumes under a zero-commitment contract. The planned contract period is 12 months, from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with an option to extend for a further 12 months. The service description calls for a flexible, scalable service that can be mobilised rapidly as reporting demand fluctuates.

The work is suited to providers able to supply dermatology and plastic surgery clinical capacity through an insourcing model, including support for surgical and minor operations waiting lists and reporting backlogs. Suppliers should be prepared to scale resources in response to changing demand, mobilise rapidly, meet agreed turnaround times, and maintain high clinical quality and compliance. The Trust’s stated focus is on dependable delivery that helps manage waiting times and supports cancer and waiting-time targets. A supplier will need to demonstrate that it meets the criteria for the further competition under the relevant clinical and healthcare staffing framework. This points to a need for relevant clinical service capability, operational flexibility and the capacity to provide additional resources across the Trust’s acute sites.
