## Summary

The procurement process for a virtual outpatient clinic platform specifically tailored to individuals with Parkinson’s is spearheaded by the East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust (ESNEFT). The initiative, titled "Virtual outpatient clinic platform for people with Parkinson’s," falls under the services industry category, focussing on hospital services. The location of the procurement activity is the UKH14 region. As of 11th December 2025, the procurement has reached the award and contract stage with Neu Health Digital Ltd as the contracting party, with a contract duration from 13th December 2025 to 31st March 2026. The activity followed a limited procurement method, under the Provider Selection Regime regulations, which allowed for a direct award to continue existing services without prior competition due to specific patient safety considerations.

This tender offers notable opportunities for business growth by leveraging Neu Health’s Software as a Medical Device (SAMD) platform to support up to 300 Parkinson’s patients. Such an integration would suit digital health companies specializing in SAMD platforms and services aimed at enhancing healthcare delivery efficiency. Businesses focusing on medical technology collaborations with healthcare trusts could benefit from this growing market, offering real-time patient monitoring and clinical decision support, aligning with NHS's strategic goals to manage increasing health demands effectively. The project underscores cooperation between digital health providers and healthcare institutions to address the rising need for innovative patient management solutions.

ESNEFT has been using the Knue Health platform for the past 12 months. There is currently limited Clinical Nurse Specialist responsible for this service, at Ipswich there is 1 wte and there is 1.6 wte at Colchester however, due to study leave Colchester have reduced resource for this service.
Previously a band 6 was employed on a ftc to support the delivery of this service at Ipswich. The division could not support the funding to support this post long-term. The delivery models for Parkinson's disease are different between the Colchester and Ipswich hospital sites. The division are in the process ofintegrating this service across both sites.
Parkinson's disease is on the rise, with Parkinson's UK estimating there are now 166,000 people diagnosed with Parkinson's in the UK. This is an increase from their previous estimate of 153,000 and is driven by the growing and ageing population in the UK. By 2030, Parkinson's UK expect the number of people with the condition in the UK to reach 173,000.
This SAMD platform allows patients to be greater control of their health, aligns with the Trust Clinical Strategy and supports the NHS future plan. It also supports the clinical teams to manage demand with existing resource and creates an opportunity to extend PIFU for a number of these patients, meaning clinics can be optimised based on clinical need.
The ICB has agreed to fund this contract on 4-month basis to ensure that patients continue to receive their Parkinson's disease treatment without any interruption to the service. Furthermore, this 4-month contract will allow the the division to develop plans for long-term funding, Epic integration and its delivery model for managing patients with Parkinson's disease.
ESNEFTs future plan is to carry out a full procurement activity once this extension has completed.
