Summary of the contracting process

NHS Grampian procured weekend theatre insourcing services for Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. The requirement is a healthcare service supporting the hospital’s theatre activity through external medical provision at weekends. The relevant service classification covers medical practitioners’ services, alongside the broader category of health services. Delivery is at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in Aberdeen. The procurement was run as a mini-competition through the National Procurement Dynamic Purchasing System for Medical Insourcing Services. This is relevant to medical insourcing providers and organisations able to supply suitably qualified clinical theatre personnel and associated operational support for hospital services. The named buyer is NHS Grampian, serving the health sector in the Aberdeen area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. NHS Grampian used an open procedure, delivered as a mini-competition through the NP676/22 Dynamic Purchasing System. One lot covered the weekend theatre insourcing requirement, with possible extensions of two years plus two further one-year extensions if funding is available. Sirona Medical Limited was awarded the contract. The contract value is £450,000, in GBP, and the contract was signed on 16 July 2026; its recorded status is active. Nine bids were received, including three from SMEs, and all nine bids were submitted electronically. The procurement was evaluated through the open competition route, with the award outcome recorded against the single lot.

This award demonstrates demand from NHS Grampian for externally provided weekend theatre capacity at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be established medical insourcing businesses able to provide clinical theatre personnel and organise reliable weekend service delivery within an acute hospital. The competition attracted nine electronic bids, including three from SMEs, indicating that smaller specialist providers can participate alongside larger organisations. Credibility would depend on being able to mobilise an appropriately qualified clinical workforce, maintain safe and dependable theatre operations, and work within the requirements of a national medical-insourcing dynamic purchasing system. Experience delivering comparable hospital theatre services would strengthen a supplier’s position when this type of requirement returns.
