## Summary

The recent procurement process conducted by University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust aims to address the inadequacy of available surgery slots for patients waiting for over a year. Categorised under "Health services" with CPV code 85100000, the tender, titled "Ramsay ENT and General Surgery 02/2526," is now at the award stage. Ramsay Healthcare UK was selected to enhance surgical capacity outside of NHS hours. The contract commenced on 28 February 2026 and is scheduled to end on 31 August 2026. The surgeries will be conducted in Kettering, postcode NN16 8XF. This tender utilises the procurement method of "Other - PSR Most Suitable Provider," ensuring that patients benefit from continuity with their existing surgeon, reducing the need for additional outpatient reviews and diagnostic tests.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for healthcare providers, particularly those equipped to offer additional surgical capacity in collaboration with NHS organisations. Large-scale health service providers such as Ramsay Healthcare UK can leverage this opportunity to extend their services within the independent sector while helping reduce NHS waiting lists. Although the tender is explicitly not suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community, and social enterprises, businesses capable of accommodating surge demands in health services will find this contract beneficial in expanding their footprint in partnership with public health bodies.

## Notice

The activity relates to carrying our surgery for patients who have been waiting for more than a year on the waiting list of 1 specific surgeon 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 surgeon has practising privileges to operate privately at only one Independent Sector Provider - Ramsay Health Care. 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, and is less demanding on the patient in terms of taking time out to attend repeat additional and avoidable outpatient attendances - which in some cases can also involve intrusive and unpleasant diagnostic investigations such as nas-endoscopy.
