## Summary

NHS Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland ICB has initiated an awarding process for orthopaedic services specifically concerning routine joints. This procurement falls under the health category and is classified as ophthalmologist services. Although the procurement process is complete, the contract itself will run from 1st April 2026 until 31st March 2027, without any payment linked to the contract value, as it is an activity-based service. The services are intended for the UKF region with the procurement method as a Direct Award via the Provider Selection Regime, which excludes the Procurement Act 2023 provisions from this award.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare services, particularly orthopaedics. Large enterprises such as Spire Healthcare Limited and Nuffield Health have been awarded contracts, highlighting how established entities in the healthcare sector can leverage existing capabilities to secure service provision contracts through the limited procurement method. Companies with expertise in orthopaedic services and a strong regional presence may find meaningful growth prospects by aligning with NHS objectives and service requirements. Business enterprises located within the UKF regions or possessing the capacity to deliver services in this area are particularly well-positioned to compete for similar future opportunities.
