## Summary

The procurement process involves the Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and concerns the direct award of a contract for outsourcing NHS patient activity to OSD Healthcare, an independent sector provider. This project aims to transfer NHS patients to OSD for treatment at OSD's facilities, focusing on gynaecological hospital services. The process lies within the services category and falls under a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award and follows a limited procurement method. The procurement is in the Award stage, with the decision made on October 1, 2025, and the standstill period taking effect from October 18, 2025. The contract is valued at £400,000 and targets healthcare delivery in the East of England (region UKH2).

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses within the healthcare services sector that are capable of delivering high-quality and innovative solutions. Entities that can integrate services sustainably, enhance access to healthcare, and contribute to reducing health inequalities will find this tender particularly appealing. The successful supplier, OSD Healthcare, is considered an SME, suggesting that small to mid-sized enterprises may have a competitive edge. Businesses with a focus on social value as part of their service delivery are well-positioned to capitalise on opportunities like this, where quality and sustainable healthcare provision are key award criteria.
