## Summary

The Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group (SCCG) is advancing a procurement process for Elective Care Services, set to be awarded to Nuffield Hospital Taunton. This contract, classified under health and social work services, is part of a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The current service agreement concludes on 31st March 2022, with the new contract intended for a 12-month duration, potentially extending for another year. The procurement is active, and it focuses on services primarily in Trauma and Orthopaedics, accompanied by General Surgery and ENT, amounting to approximately £2 million annually for the current scope of services.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those capable of providing elective care. Companies that can deliver high-quality patient care and manage inter-provider transfers are well-suited to compete, especially within the established healthcare framework of Somerset. Given the specific needs of elective surgeries and post-pandemic recovery efforts, local businesses with experience in Trauma and Orthopaedics, as well as outpatient surgical services, may find significant avenues for growth and collaboration with the NHS in this competitive environment.
