Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust intends to commission a Gender Affirming Surgery Psychology (GASP) service for patients on its gender-affirming surgery pathway. The work is a specialist psychological service within healthcare, supporting patients as part of their route to surgery. The procurement is a single lot, with delivery in London. The Trust is the buying organisation.

This is at the planning stage: the Trust has stated its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. It expects to use the most suitable provider process under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023; the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply. The stated estimated contract value is £1.45 million. The buyer’s expected date for a further notice is 19 October 2026. This is an indicative publication date, not a deadline for suppliers to respond. The procurement is arranged as one lot. No evaluation criteria or participation requirements are set out at this stage.

This service is relevant to providers with expertise in psychology for people pursuing gender-affirming surgery, and with the clinical capacity to support patients within a specialist surgical pathway. Providers experienced in delivering patient-facing psychological care in a healthcare setting are likely to be best placed to prepare. The buyer’s stated requirement is a dedicated Gender Affirming Surgery Psychology service supporting patients on the pathway. The planned use of the most suitable provider process means the eventual selection will be made under the Provider Selection Regime, rather than a competition governed by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Suppliers with relevant service experience should monitor the buyer’s next procurement information and prepare to demonstrate how their service can meet the needs of this patient group.
