## Summary

The procurement process for "Outsourced Head and Neck Cancer Surgery" was conducted by the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust. This tender, identified as ENT 01 2526, falls under the health services industry category with a focus on providing outsourced surgical capacity due to insufficient NHS resources. The procurement method utilised was "Other - PSR - Most Suitable Provider," and the contract was successfully awarded to HCA Healthcare UK. The procurement stage is at the award phase, with the award being made on 15th May 2025 and the contract period running from that date until 31st March 2026. The surgery services will be provided at The Harborne Hospital, located in Birmingham, with the postal code B15 2FQ.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those capable of offering specialised surgical procedures outside of NHS core hours. The contract, valued at £500,000, presents growth potential for large-scale healthcare providers with the capability and credentials to manage complex operations such as head and neck cancer surgery. While this contract is not specifically targeted towards SMEs or VCSEs, it still offers a valuable opportunity for established health service providers aiming to expand their operations and collaborate with NHS Trusts.

## 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 - The Harborne Hospital. 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.
