## Summary

The Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust intends to award a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) process for the provision of service monitoring for the AED waitlist in Leatherhead at 18 Mole Business Park. This process follows Health Care Services Regulations 2023 and marks the start of a standstill period where representations must be made by providers by midnight on 30 April 2026. The industry category for this tender is health services, and the main procurement category is services. The procurement method employed is limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified as the service falls outside typical directive scopes. Currently, the procurement stage is the award stage, with the contract expected to commence on 1 May 2026, and options extending until 31 October 2027 if necessary.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those with capabilities in service monitoring and clinical oversight relevant to waitlist management. Although the procurement method was limited due to specific regulations, businesses able to demonstrate continuity of care and integrated services with existing AED pathways have room for growth, although a direct procurement method limits open competition. The incumbent provider assessed as best placed, Surrey Heath Community Providers Limited, was chosen for their established operational track record, ensuring patient safety and service continuity, thereby reducing transition and integration costs that could arise with alternative providers. Businesses that can display similar clinical risk management and patient information handling capabilities might find growth opportunities in similar tenders. The NHS Trust involved is a body governed by public law and holds opportunities for businesses looking to engage with public health sector contracts.

No conflicts of interest were declared

The contract for the Provision of Monitoring Service for the AED waitlist was awarded under Direct Award Process C following a proportionate, risk-based assessment of the key and basic selection criteria. No weighted or scored evaluation was undertaken, in line with PSR requirements. Instead, criteria were prioritised, with patient safety and continuity of care treated as overriding considerations. 
The incumbent provider was assessed as best placed to deliver the service, as it is already providing active monitoring of the AED waitlist, with established clinical oversight, escalation processes, and access to historical patient data. The provider's service is fully integrated with existing AED pathways, systems, and governance arrangements. Changing provider would introduce significant clinical and operational risks, including disruption to monitoring, delays in escalation, and risks associated with transferring sensitive patient information.
The provider met all basic selection criteria, with no concerns identified regarding capability, governance, compliance, or financial stability. Retaining the incumbent also represents best value for money, as it avoids additional mobilisation, transition, and system integration costs without delivering any clear improvement in outcomes.
On this basis, the criteria for Direct Award Process C were met, as no reasonable alternative provider could deliver the service to the required standard without unacceptable risk to patients or service continuity.
