## Summary

The procurement process initiated by University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust involves outsourcing arthroplasty and spinal surgery services to address patient backlogs exceeding 35-week waiting periods. The contract, titled "Outsourced Arthroplasty and Spinal Surgery," falls under the health services category and has been awarded to Circle Health Group Ltd. The procurement stage is complete, with the award dated 27th November 2025. The contract period extends from 27th November 2025 to 30th November 2026, providing the opportunity for additional capacity beyond the NHS's existing core hours. The services will be delivered at the Circle Meriden facility in Coventry, ensuring geographical proximity for the patients, with the postal code CV2 2DX as the delivery address.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for independent sector providers specialising in health services, particularly those capable of providing arthroplasty and spinal surgeries. Businesses in the healthcare industry, especially SMEs, can leverage this outsourcing to expand service offerings and increase capacity. The contract aims to ensure continuity of care by maintaining the same surgeons for patient operations. This continuity reduces the need for repeated diagnostic tests and outpatient visits, enhancing efficiency and patient satisfaction. It is an excellent opportunity for healthcare providers seeking to collaborate with established NHS trusts to bolster their patient service capabilities and contribute to reducing hospital waitlists.

## Notice

The activity relates to carrying our surgery for patients who have been waiting for more than 35 weeks on the waiting lists of specific surgeons 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 activity in scope of the outsourcing relates to specific surgoens who have practising privileges to operate privately at this particular Independent Sector Provider - Circle Meriden. 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 radiological diagnostic investigations. We are seeking similar outsourcing arrangements at other ISPs where the same circumstances apply - the determining factors being continuity of carer for the patient, geographical proximity and transport links, and length of time that patients would be required to wait.
