## Summary

The NHS Midlands and Lancashire CSU has awarded a contract for Independent Sector Elective Care Services to Spire South Bank Hospital, aimed at bolstering the local recovery of routine elective care services in Herefordshire and Worcestershire post COVID-19. This award follows urgent needs arising from the pandemic and includes a contract value of approximately £10,405,881, covering a period of 18 months from 1st October 2022 to 31st March 2023. The project is classified under the health services category and is based in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom. This contract was awarded directly as a follow-on from previous arrangements, ensuring continuity of care delivery within existing patient pathways.

This tender presents significant opportunities for healthcare providers that can offer elective care services, particularly those equipped for outpatient, day case, and inpatient services. Businesses that specialise in elective healthcare and have the capacity to manage post-pandemic demand will find this contract valuable. Companies capable of delivering clinically safe and responsive services that align with the NHS's operational requirements in this location stand to benefit the most, especially those looking to expand their footprint within the healthcare sector.

## Notice

NHS Herefordshire & Worcestershire Clinical Commissioning Group sought Independent Sector Providers to provide extra capacity for the local recovery of routine elective care services post covid-19. A contract was awarded to Spire South Bank Hospital by NHS Herefordshire & Worcestershire Clinical Commissioning Group to provide NHS patients in the Clinical Commissioning Group's locality with a clinically safe and effective routine elective outpatient, day case and in-patient service that is responsive to their needs. The UK Government's policy in response to covid-19 initially gave rise to a situation of extreme urgency brought about by unforeseeable events. Following this, it became vital for NHS organisations to build in extra capacity locally for the recovery of the routine elective care services (and the wider healthcare system) post covid-19. The award of this contract is a follow-on contract from previous arrangements, and so the necessary linkage with current pathways is already established locally to ensure minimum disruption to the patient whilst urgent catch-back on resources and capacity is established. The contract duration for this directly awarded contract was subject to detailed discussions by the contracting authority and it was agreed that a period of 18 months (from 1st October 2022 to 31st March 2023) would be advisable to facilitate system stabilisation on a number of levels. This would allow the new structure of the Herefordshire & Worcestershire Integrated Care System time to settle in; time for resources to be optimized post covid-19; and time to consider potential future procurement options within redesigned care pathways. The estimate value for this period of time is circa PS10,405,881.
