This involved multiple lots awarded through a direct award process to various NHS Trusts across the South West of the UK, including Swansea Bay University Health Board and Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Trust, among others. The total duration of these service contracts is set for one year, commencing from 1st April 2025. The procurement falls within the health services industry category, covering locations within the South West region, and was handled as a limited procurement method due to technical reasons, as there was no realistic alternative provider. This tender represents significant business opportunities for specialised healthcare providers with capabilities to manage acute services in the specified region. Providers in this sector could leverage such contracts to expand or reinforce their service offerings within the health services industry. However, as the procurement was conducted through a direct award process without a call for competition, opportunities are mainly suited for existing large-scale NHS organisations that have the technical capacity and are already positioned to deliver these critical healthcare services. The large-scale nature of the suppliers reflects their ability to meet these specific service demands across multiple regions, thus reinforcing their market presence and operational capabilities. ## Notice Acute contracts for Specialised Commissioning Services across the South West Region ### Lot Information Lot 1: SWANSEA BAY UNIVERSITY HEALTH BOARD An award has been made following Direct Award Process A in line with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.
