## Summary

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust initiated a tender for the provision of frenulotomy clinics, classified under hospital services (CPV id 85111000). This procurement falls under the service category and was conducted via a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, compliant with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The process involved the treatment of tongue tie/Restrictive Lingual Frenulum (RLF), with an expectation of 5-8 referrals per week. The contract was originally intended to run from 18 September 2024 to 31 March 2025 but has since been abandoned, and no contract has been awarded. The hospital is located in King's Lynn, UKH16 region, and the announcement date for the abandoned contract process was 3 December 2024.

This tender presented significant opportunities for healthcare providers, particularly those specialising in paediatric services and surgical procedures related to tongue tie. Businesses in the healthcare sector with capabilities to provide high-quality, responsive services in accordance with NHS Payment Scheme tariffs and cost-effective solutions would have been well-suited for this tender. Although the procurement process was abandoned, similar future opportunities may arise, allowing suitable providers to participate and potentially secure valuable contracts to expand their service offerings within the NHS framework.
