## Summary

The Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust intends to award a contract for varicose vein treatment services under the Provider Selection Regime regulations. The procurement process has reached the awarding stage, with the contract valued at £316,548 spanning from 1st October 2024 to 31st March 2025. The contract aims to address the treatment backlog for patients suffering from varicose veins within the UKJ12 region, specifically in Milton Keynes. Key decision-makers involved in this process include Jonathan Dunk, Fay Gordon, Claire McGillycuddy, and Arosha Hettiarachchige. Interested providers had until 12th November 2024 to make representations to the decision-makers, overseen by Lisa Johnston.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with experience in varicose vein treatments. The criteria emphasize quality and innovation, value for money, and sustainable service delivery. The contract seeks to partner with a provider capable of aligning service delivery to meet the defined volumes and clear patient backlogs efficiently. This is an attractive opportunity for businesses capable of delivering high-quality patient outcomes and integrating seamlessly with the hospital’s governance processes. The successful bidder will help reduce waiting times and improve patient access to necessary care, aligning with broader objectives of reducing health inequalities and enhancing patient choice.

## Notice

The Vascular service currently doesn't have a treatment option for varicose vein patients. The vein centre offers this treatment to our patients who are currently sitting on our PTL. Prior to having this option our patients would remain on the PTL and became long waiters. There is a plan for thr future once the Trust offers radiofrequency ablation in the Treatment room. 

This outsourcing solution should align to the following:
* Have the ability to align capacity with the defined volumes to acheive the clearance rate required
* Have defined Governance processes that dovetail to MKUH's to ensure quality is monitored and delivered to achieve optimal patient outcomes
