## Summary

The NHS Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board is the buying organisation responsible for the "ESNEFT Acute Service" procurement in the health care sector, specifically under hospital and related services. This process pertains to a contract modification of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), governed by the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. The procurement takes place in the regions of Colchester and Ipswich, identified as UKH14 and UKH34, respectively. The procurement stage is at the contract modification phase, with significant updates occurring on 10th October 2025. The contract, awarded to the East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust, was initially signed on 31st March 2025, with a duration of 1080 days and a value of approximately £1.8 billion. This contract continues the ESNEFT Complex Obesity Service, previously initiated in August 2024.

This procurement presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare services, particularly those with capabilities in managing hospital-related care and specialised obesity services. Large-scale healthcare providers with experience in delivering comprehensive weight management programmes would be preeminently positioned to engage with similar future tenders. As the contract aligns with the Provider Selection Regime, businesses familiar with this procurement framework would be well-suited to compete, ensuring compliance with specific regulatory structures and capitalising on pre-existing service provisions. For businesses aiming to expand within the regional healthcare market of Suffolk and North Essex, this procurement not only offers collaboration with a major NHS Foundation Trust but also underscores the potential for extended service agreements beyond the initial contract period.
