## Summary

The University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust has awarded a contract titled "Head and Neck Outpatient and Diagnostics Support" to Circle Health Group Limited. This procurement, valued at £40,000, falls under the health services category (CPV: 85100000) and is designed to provide additional outpatient consultations for patients who have been on the waiting list for over a year. The contract will cover a period from 12th October 2024 to 11th October 2025, focusing on services in Coventry, specifically the CV2 2DX postal area. The procurement method used is "PSR Most Suitable Provider" and the tender was in the award stage as of 27th September 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare services, particularly those specialising in outpatient diagnostics and consultations. Companies with experience in providing continuity of care and those capable of managing overflow from NHS services would find this contract well-suited to their capabilities. Large healthcare providers like Circle Health Group Limited, which has been appointed as the supplier, are ideal candidates due to their extensive resources and capacity to integrate seamlessly with existing NHS services. This contract will allow such businesses to expand their operations and contribute to reducing patient wait times, ultimately enhancing their market presence in the healthcare industry.

## Notice

The activity relates to carrying out initial outpatient consultations for patients who have been waiting for more than a year on the waiting lists of specific surgeons in the hospital. There is insuffiicient capacity in existing NHS core hours to carry out the surgery for these patients and so we are seeking additional capacity from outside of the NHS. The activity in scope of the outsourcing relates to specific surgeons who have practising privileges to operate privately at this particular Independent Sector Provider - Circle Meriden. The advantages of ensuring the continuity of the surgeon is that if the patient requires surgery, this will be carried out by the same surgeon in an NHS setting, avoiding the need for further outpatient review or repeat diagnostic tests which saves both time and money, and is less demanding on the patient. We are seeking similar outsourcing arrangements at other ISPs where the same circumstances apply - the determining factors being continuity of carer for the patient, geographical proximity and transport links, and length of time that patients would be required to wait.
