## Summary

The Queen Victoria Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for the provision of sterile services, specifically the decontamination and sterilisation of surgical instruments. This procurement falls under the category of health and social work services and took place in East Grinstead (UKJ2). Initiated under the SBS Framework, the tender was awarded to IHSS LIMITED with a contract value of £10,911,346.80, considering the three-year extension option. The contract began on 10th December 2024 and will run until 27th November 2031, with the possibility to extend for another three years. This was a limited procurement method, avoiding the call for competition as it fell outside the directive's scope.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in decontamination services, equipment, and related solutions in healthcare. Companies with robust quality assurance, strong logistics, and innovative training programs are well-suited to compete for similar contracts. The procurement process focused heavily on quality metrics, including contract management, quality assurance, and sustainability, alongside a substantial emphasis on cost. As such, businesses that excel in providing high-quality, efficient decontamination services while offering competitive pricing would find this sector particularly advantageous for expansion.
