## Summary

The procurement process for the "09/24 Vascular Urological Surgery Outsourcing" project was initiated by the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust. This project falls under the Health services industry category (CPV code 85100000) and focuses on the outsourcing of urological and vascular surgeries that cannot be accommodated within the NHS core hours. The finalised award stage, as of 22nd August 2024, appoints Circle Health Group Ltd as the successful supplier. The surgeries will be carried out at specific Independent Sector Providers, including Circle Meriden, to ensure continuity of care. Key contract dates include the start of the contract period on 5th September 2024 and completion by 31st August 2025, with the project prominently located in the West Midlands, United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in providing specialised medical services, particularly those capable of offering additional surgical capacity outside of the NHS. With a focus on ensuring continuity of care and reducing patient re-admissions for consultations and diagnostic tests, companies with the ability to mobilise efficient, high-quality surgical services can benefit. This opportunity would suit larger healthcare providers with established facilities and resources to meet the specified requirements. The procurement method of selecting the Most Suitable Provider (PSR) underlines the importance of established track records and capacity in delivering critical health services.

## Notice

Provision of outsourced urological and vascular surgery. The activity relates to carrying out surgery for patients who have been waiting for more than a year on the waiting lists of specific surgeons in the hospital. There is insufficient 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 this 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 the patient will not require to be reviewed as an outpatient and will not require diagnostic tests to be repeated - this saves both time and money, as the patients have already been clinically worked up and have been li for surgery. It is also less demanding on the patient in terms of taking time out to attend repeat outpatient attendances - which in some cases can also involve invasive diagnostic investigations. We are seeking similar outsourcing arrangements at other ISPs and for other pressured specialties 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.
