## Summary

The procurement process led by West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust involves the Circle Health Group, focusing on health services under the CPV code 85100000. Located in Watford, the contracting authority operates within the UKH region. The procurement is currently at the contract award stage, with a formal award happening on 14th April 2026. The contract begins on 1st April 2026 and runs through 31st March 2028, with a possibility for an extension of one additional year. The lifetime value of the contract is £76,919.67. The process follows a limited procurement method, specifically a direct award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, bypassing the need for prior publication of a call for competition.

This tender presents significant business expansion opportunities, particularly for firms specializing in health services who can provide flexible and efficient service delivery. Providers that excel in service quality, cost-effectiveness, and have a track record of successful partnerships with health trusts are well-positioned to benefit. The current contract also emphasizes outsourcing services such as endoscopy, MRI activities, and a range of surgical specialties, which could cater to businesses capable of meeting such medical demands.

The Trust's ongoing reviews and operational catch-ups offer a framework to maintain high service standards, thus favouring responsive and adaptable vendors.
