Summary of the contracting process

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde procured private healthcare support to carry out a number of spinal orthopaedic medical procedures. The work is clinical treatment delivered through hospital services, rather than general health or social care. The procurement was a mini-competition under National Procurement’s private healthcare outsourcing Dynamic Purchasing System. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is the buyer. The process description identifies the procedures as spinal orthopaedics but does not break them down into individual treatments or specify a delivery site. The contract therefore provides evidence of demand for outsourced spinal orthopaedic capacity within this health board, while the precise clinical mix and locations should be checked against the procurement requirements before comparing it with a supplier’s service offer.

The mini-competition has been awarded and the contract is active. Nuffield Health was selected, with an awarded value of £427,600. The contract runs until 31 March 2027, with the buyer holding an option to extend by up to six months on up to two occasions. The competition was run among suppliers admitted to National Procurement’s Dynamic Purchasing System for private healthcare outsourcing. Two bids were recorded. The award relates to spinal orthopaedic medical procedures; no separate awards or lots are identified. No award date or evaluation criteria are recorded in the process information, so the basis on which the two bids were assessed cannot be stated. The contract value is the award value, not a figure for each extension.

This award shows a buyer purchasing outsourced spinal orthopaedic procedures through an established public-sector healthcare purchasing route, and provides a benchmark for the scale of requirement. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to deliver the relevant spinal orthopaedic treatments safely and consistently, with suitable clinical staff, facilities and capacity to provide hospital-based care. Providers should be able to evidence experience delivering comparable procedures for NHS patients and to meet the clinical governance, quality and operational requirements expected by a health board. The successful supplier was Nuffield Health, indicating that private healthcare providers with the infrastructure and breadth to support outsourced treatment can compete for this type of work. The precise procedures and delivery arrangements will shape which specialist providers are best placed.
