## Summary

The Whittington Health NHS Trust has successfully awarded a contract for the provision of elective outpatient capacity, aiming to support the reduction of waiting lists for its patients. The contract was granted under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 governing the process. This one-month arrangement, between 7th March 2026 and 6th April 2026, is valued at £150,000 and involves services in general surgery, pain management, and ENT, excluding surgical procedures. Whittington Health NHS Trust, located in London, has collaborated with Nuffield Health as the supplier to provide these health services, classified under CPV code 85100000.

This contract opens opportunities for growth within the health services industry, particularly for large-scale organisations experienced in rapid mobilisation to address urgent healthcare needs. As the procurement method utilised bypassed prior publication of a call for competition, entities equipped to provide immediate outpatient services in the specified categories could potentially partner or form strategic alliances with primary suppliers like Nuffield Health for future contracts. However, small and medium enterprises, as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises, may need to explore similar opportunities through different avenues, as this opportunity was not deemed suitable for them.

## Notice

This contract has been awarded under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). The contract provides additional short-term elective outpatient capacity to support waiting list reduction for Whittington Hospital NHS Trust patients. The services are limited to outpatient activity only and exclude surgical procedures. Services include outpatient pathways in general surgery, pain management and ENT. The contract is limited to a one-month term. The scope and duration of this arrangement have been limited to the minimum necessary to address the immediate requirement. Additional information: This contract has been awarded under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) in accordance with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award.
