Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust commissioned respiratory medicine consultant services. The requirement is described as the provision of a respiratory consultant, a specialist clinical service supporting patients with respiratory conditions. The work was associated with East Sussex, with delivery linked to the Brighton area. This is a healthcare services contract rather than a supply of equipment or a construction project. The stated scope is focused on consultant provision; no wider clinical disciplines or additional service components are identified. The procurement records an arrangement originally made before these services were integrated into East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, so it reflects an established respiratory medicine service rather than a new service specification.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust. The contract was signed on 1 April 2025. The recorded bid statistics show one bid, with the lowest and highest valid bid both valued at £50,995; the data does not separately state an awarded contract value. The procurement used a limited procedure without a prior call for competition, and the stated evaluation criterion was price. The single lot covering respiratory consultant provision is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active. The rationale says the original award pre-dated the integration of the services into East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust and fell outside the Trust’s current management arrangements; the award was recorded retrospectively for transparency. No contract period or award date is stated.

For suppliers seeking comparable work with East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, this award demonstrates demand for respiratory consultant capacity delivered through an established healthcare provider. A credible competitor would need to provide appropriately qualified respiratory medicine consultants and the clinical capacity to support the Trust’s service requirement. The selected supplier is a large NHS foundation trust, indicating that an established healthcare organisation secured the award; the procurement does not describe specific accreditation, staffing levels, service volumes or technical requirements. The route used was an award without a prior call for competition, with price identified as the evaluation basis. Suppliers assessing this buyer’s future respiratory medicine requirements should therefore consider whether they can deliver consultant-led respiratory care at an institutional level and compete on cost, while recognising that this particular award arose from arrangements predating the service’s integration into the Trust.
