## Summary

Ashford and St Peter's Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a 12-month contract to Nuffield Health Woking Hospital for the provision of elective surgical procedures for its patients. The contracted services include a range of surgeries such as general surgery, trauma and orthopaedics, carpal tunnel, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and hernia repair—all essential to meeting the statutory RTT and clinical prioritisation requirements. This procurement was conducted under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, specifically using the urgent award process due to the immediacy of need. The contract is valid from its signing on 20 February 2026 and covers services provided in the UKJ2 region, focusing on healthcare services, particularly hospital and related services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth for large-scale healthcare providers capable of swiftly mobilising resources to meet urgent healthcare needs. With a substantial contract value of £381,000, businesses equipped with the infrastructure and capacity to deliver complex surgical procedures and comprehensive patient care, including pre-assessment and post-operative follow-up, stand to benefit immensely. Given the non-recurrent elective recovery funding and the prioritisation of reducing patient waiting times, providers like Nuffield Health are positioned as pivotal partners in ensuring patient welfare and maintaining service continuity under urgent circumstances.

### Procurement Information

This award has been made under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 (PSR 2023). For the avoidance of doubt, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015) do not apply to this procurement, in accordance with Regulation 3 of the PSR which disapplies PCR 2015 for healthcare services. The contract has been formally awarded using the Urgent Award Process, permitted under PSR Regulation 14(2). Ashford and St Peter's Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (ASPH) required immediate access to additional elective surgical capacity to meet Surrey Heartlands ICB's elective recovery objectives and to prevent breaches of statutory RTT and clinical prioritisation requirements. The ICB allocated time-limited non-recurrent elective recovery funding, which required rapid deployment and could not accommodate the timescales of a competitive process or Most Suitable Provider route. The urgency of need for procedures (including general surgery, trauma and orthopaedics, carpal tunnel, laparoscopic cholecystectomy and hernia repairs) meant that delaying the award to conduct a competitive process would have: placed patients at risk of clinical harm due to extended waiting times resulted in imminent RTT breaches risked loss of ICB recovery funding impaired ASPH's ability to comply with obligations under the NHS Standard Contract Nuffield Health Woking Hospital was identified as a provider with immediate confirmed capacity, validated pathways, established governance interfaces, and the ability to mobilise activity within days of contract signature, therefore, a viable provider capable of meeting the timescale and safety requirements associated with the urgent need. Accordingly, the award was made via the PSR Urgent Route, which allows direct award where there is an imperative need to protect patients or meet service continuity requirements, and where using another PSR route would be impossible or unsafe because of the immediacy of the need. All local independent sector hospital providers were engaged to support system elective recovery, including Nuffield Health Woking Hospital, Epsomedical Ltd at Cobham Day Surgery and Circle Health Group, each of whom was allocated activity and awarded a contract appropriate to their capacity and clinical capability. The specific award documented here relates to Nuffield Health Woking Hospital.
