Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust commissioned cardiology insourcing: surgical and/or diagnostic cardiology services for patients, intended to reduce waiting times for the local population. The work relates to cardiology services and is delivered in Newcastle upon Tyne. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust, which provides hospital and healthcare services in the area.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Elective Services Ltd, which has also signed it. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, a six-month period, with an approximate lifetime value of £123,776. The Trust used the Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process C, without a prior call for competition. One bid was recorded. The provider was assessed pass or fail against quality and innovation; value; integration, collaboration and service sustainability; improving access, reducing inequalities and facilitating choice; and social value. The supplier passed all five criteria. The award is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

This award shows demand from the Trust for additional cardiology capacity delivered through insourced surgical and/or diagnostic services, with the aim of reducing local patient waiting times. A credible provider for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to deliver the relevant cardiology services to an adequate standard, supported by evidence of quality and innovation, value, integration and collaboration, and service sustainability. The Trust also assessed how provision would improve access, reduce inequalities and facilitate patient choice, alongside social value. Its assessment considered performance under the previous contract as well as expected performance under the proposed contract. Suppliers with relevant cardiology delivery experience and the capacity to support patient services would therefore be well placed to evidence these outcomes.
