## Summary

East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust has initiated the award stage of a procurement process for "Dermatology Services" focussed on delivering care and managing a range of Dermatological conditions. With a completion date set for early January 2026, the contract covers services throughout East Sussex and adjoining counties, under the procurement method of direct award via the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) pursuant to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement, documented on 20th January 2026, confirms the contract's award with no provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 applying to this award. Contact for further details is available through Kirsti McCann via esht.contracting@nhs.net, located at St Leonards on Sea, United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant business growth potential for service providers specialising in health and dermatology care, primarily suited for those with a background in secondary care treatment and complex inflammatory skin disease management. The £2,132,000 contract is a lucrative opportunity for suppliers capable of handling inpatient referrals and supporting clinical dermatology teams, with Sussex Community Dermatology Service Ltd as the current supplier. SMEs in the healthcare sector looking to expand their portfolio in the UK healthcare market will find this procurement particularly fitting. The absence of a need for a call for competition could favour incumbent providers but also presents an open door for new entrants with established expertise and relevant capabilities.
