The procurement process aims to commission services across its Bedford Hospital and Luton & Dunstable Hospital sites, with a project value of £1,900,000. The tender period is set to close on 25 May 2022, with the contract anticipated to commence from 1 June 2022 and extend until 31 May 2027, allowing substantial time for interested parties to prepare their proposals. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in orthotic services, particularly those that can provide high-quality healthcare solutions in a hospital setting. Companies that can demonstrate competence in managing prosthetic and orthotic provisions and have experience in collaborating with NHS facilities would be particularly well-suited to participate. This is an excellent occasion for businesses to expand their market presence by aligning with public healthcare initiatives, thereby contributing to improved patient care while fostering business growth. ## Notice Text to be corrected in the original notice: Place of text to be modified: V.11.2 Instead of: N/A Read: Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is a large general hospital based across two sites, Luton & Dunstable University Hospital and Bedford Hospital.

Outreach clinics for phlebotomy and therapies are also sited at the North Wing site in Bedford. At the Luton & Dunstable University Hospital site, we are planning development of an Acute Services Block and New Ward Block which are essential to support Maternity, Neonatology, Critical Care and Theatre services.
