## Summary

The public procurement process for "Paediatric Plastic Surgery UHCW 25/26" has been awarded to Nuffield Health by the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust. This contract addresses the pressing need for additional surgical capacity outside NHS core hours to reduce the waiting list for paediatric plastic surgery at a specific hospital site. The procurement falls under the healthcare services category, with operations taking place at The Nuffield Hospital in Leamington Spa, postcode CV32 6RW. The award was confirmed on 31st May 2025, following the tender process initiated on 19th May 2025, and the contract will be operational until 31st March 2026.

This tender creates significant opportunities for large healthcare providers capable of delivering expert surgical procedures outside standard NHS hours, particularly those with experience in paediatric surgeries. Nuffield Health, as a large-scale supplier, exemplifies the qualities required for this tender, such as the capability for specialised health services and facilities to support the continuity of care. Businesses positioned within the health services industry, with the necessary infrastructure and scale, are well-suited to compete for similar procurement opportunities, especially when the contract’s urgency and location align with existing capabilities.

## Notice

The activity relates to carrying out surgery for patients who have been waiting fro surgery 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 - The Nuffield Hospital in Leamington Spa. 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 and diagnostic investigations.
