Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust procured endoscopy insourcing: additional services delivered within its endoscopy department. This is a healthcare service, classified under hospital services, for delivery in Norfolk. The requirement is specifically for endoscopy provision rather than general outpatient or hospital services. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust serving King’s Lynn. The procurement description and lot scope both identify the work as insourcing within Endoscopy, indicating that the supplier provides the service within the hospital’s existing service setting.

The contract was awarded to Outpatient Network Limited and signed on 23 October 2026. The stated contract period runs from 1 April to 31 October 2026, with a value of £750,000. The award was made through a framework agreement without a competition. The procurement was handled under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services. The stated decision criteria were ability to provide the required service, service fees and delivery timescales, and cost effectiveness; price was also listed as the lot’s award criterion. One supplier bid was recorded. The procurement is reported as awarded, with an active award and contract.

For providers of endoscopy insourcing, this award demonstrates a specific requirement from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust for additional capacity within its endoscopy service. A credible competitor would need to show it can deliver the required endoscopy service within the hospital setting, alongside clear service fees and workable timescales for provision. Cost effectiveness was part of the buyer’s assessment, so suppliers should be able to explain the value of their service in relation to its cost. The recorded award went to a supplier identified as an SME, showing that the requirement was met by a smaller provider. The procurement used a framework route without competition, making access to relevant frameworks commercially important.
