The process aims to identify the most suitable provider without a competitive exercise. This procurement, classified under health services, falls under the category of services and is governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement stage is currently in planning, with interested parties required to submit expressions of interest by 13th September 2025, focusing on services provided by medical personnel. The tender, worth an estimated £1,000,000, is situated in Canterbury, UK (region UKJ44). All communications during this process are to be conducted through the Atamis portal, reflecting an efficient digital approach to procurement. This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses capable of providing high-level clinical services. Companies experienced in delivering insourced healthcare services, specifically those with competencies in mechanical thrombectomy procedures, would be well-suited to compete. Providers that are part of or meet the criteria for the Crown Commercial Services' Insourced Services to Support the Provision of Healthcare framework (reference RM6276) are encouraged to explore this opportunity to collaborate with the East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust. Successfully engaging in this contract could lead to substantial business growth and positioning within the healthcare services sector. Additionally, organisations not currently linked to the specified framework but possessing relevant expertise and NHS England accreditation are also invited to express their interest, potentially leading to expanded partnerships and service delivery opportunities. ## Notice 2gether Support Solutions, on behalf of East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust (the "Trust"), is looking to award a contract under the Most Suitable Provider process of the Provider Selection Regime ("PSR"), i.e., able to identify the most suitable provider without running a competitive exercise, for the provision of insourced clinical services to support the establishment and delivery of the Trust's new Mechanical Thrombectomy service. ### Lot Information Lot 1 In accordance with Regulation 10 of The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, 2gether Support Solutions, on behalf of East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust (the "Trust"), is looking to award a contract under the Most Suitable Provider process, i.e., able to identify the most suitable provider without running a competitive exercise, for the provision of insourced clinical services to support the establishment and delivery of the Trust's new Mechanical Thrombectomy service. A most suitable provider has already been identified by the Trust against Crown Commercial Services' Insourced Services to Support the Provision of Healthcare (including Clinical Insourcing) framework, reference RM6276, to provide: 1) specifically trained and competent Interventional Neuroradiologists to operate the Trust's Mechanical Thrombectomy service, including the delivery of an effective Mechanical Thrombectomy training programme to the Trust's substantive Interventional Radiologists within this period, to allow for the Mechanical Thrombectomy service to operate independently (without insourced staffing) at the end of the Proposed Contract's term; and 2) specifically skilled and competent Interventional Neuroradiology Radiographers and Interventional Neuroradiology Nurses to support and train the Trust's substantive Interventional Radiology Radiographers and Interventional Radiology Nurses during the initial establishment of the Mechanical Thrombectomy service (maximum period of eight weeks); and 3) provide independently competent Interventional Radiologists with the specific clinical skillset required to operate and support the existing Interventional Radiology service (caseload) for the Proposed Contract term. However if you think that your organisation is competent, suitably experienced and appropriately qualified to deliver such a service and is appointed a place on Crown Commercial Services' Insourced Services to Support the Provision of Healthcare (including Clinical Insourcing) framework, reference RM6276 or other alternative and valid NHS England accredited and accessible framework, then you may approach 2gether Support Solutions, on behalf of the Trust, and express your interest in being considered as the "Most Suitable Provider".
