## Summary

The NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) is re-opening the competition for the Framework Agreement SBS10203, titled "Insourcing of Clinical Support Services". This procurement falls under the Health Services category and is conducted under the Light Touch Regime (LTR) with limited regulation as per the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The tender is an open procedure targeting the entire United Kingdom and is particularly suitable for SMEs. The procurement is currently at the award stage, with the contract period running from 8 October 2023 to 2 July 2027. The estimated total value of the procurement is £600,000,000. Key dates for the tender process included the tender submission deadline on 25 March 2024 and the contract commencement on 1 August 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth in the healthcare market, particularly for SMEs specialising in clinical support services for NHS and social care organisations. Businesses that can offer innovative, efficient, and high-quality clinical support services will find this framework beneficial for expanding their market presence and boosting their service offerings. The framework allows new entrants to compete, potentially resulting in additional contract awards for the remaining term, making it an attractive avenue for businesses looking to establish or strengthen their foothold within the NHS supply chain.

## Notice

This was a re-opening of competition for the pre-existing Framework Agreement SBS10203 Insourcing of Clinical Support Services which was conducted under the Light Touch Regime ('LTR') and is therefore subject to limited regulation and conducted in accordance with regulations 74 to 76 of PCR 2015. Suppliers currently awarded to the pre-existing Framework Agreement did not need to re-apply, should a currently awarded supplier bid for this opportunity their bid would be rejected. This does not affect the standing of currently awarded suppliers. NHS Shared Business Services act in an Agency capacity for and on behalf of its customers (Approved Organisations) - existing and new. These comprise of NHS and Social Care organisations (whether acting individually, or on behalf of, or together as members of any consortia) along with any other public or private sector bodies which NHS SBS authorises to use the resulting Framework. NHS Shared Business Services Limited (NHS SBS) has put in place a Framework Agreement for the provision of Insourcing of Clinical Support Services and related Goods and Services for Healthcare to be used by NHS SBS Approved Organisations. This Framework Agreement was awarded under the Light Touch Regime ('LTR') and in accordance with regulations 74 to 77 of The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015) and relates to Schedule 3 of the PCR 2015 as a specific service. Pursuant to the published competition rules set out in the original tender, the Framework Agreement can be re-opened under the light touch regime at specific points during the term of the Framework Agreement. New suppliers will only be awarded contracts for the remaining term of the Framework Agreement.
