## Summary

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for the insourcing of obstetric sonographers to support the maternity pathway at the Jessop Wing Maternity unit. This award falls under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulation 2023 and is not subject to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement process, initiated due to urgent staffing absences, was completed using a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract is valued at £160,000 and runs from 1 September 2024 to 30 November 2024.
