## Summary

This procurement process involves Ashford and St Peter's Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which has awarded a contract to Epsomedical Limited for the provision of elective surgical procedures. This contract, valued at GBP 126,000, is part of a multi-provider approach to support elective recovery and reduce the RTT backlog. The focus is on hospital and related services, particularly within the region UKJ2. The procurement method was the Urgent Award Process, allowed under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, which disapplies the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for relevant healthcare services. The award was finalised on 13th February 2026 and is currently active as part of the Trust's immediate efforts to enhance elective capacity and ensure compliance with NHS standards.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those able to deliver elective outpatient, diagnostic, and day case surgical procedures. Companies with capabilities in patient management, fast mobilisation, and alignment with elective recovery pathways can leverage this opportunity for growth. Businesses like Epsomedical Limited, which demonstrated readiness to adapt to urgent demands and comply with healthcare governance standards, are well-positioned to engage with similar procurement processes. This fosters collaboration between healthcare providers and independent sectors, boosting service delivery and patient care.

## Notice

Provision of elective outpatient, diagnostic and day case surgical procedures for ASPH patients, including ENT first outpatient appointments and Gastroenterology full pathway activity. The pathway includes patient identification and referral, pre assessment, procedure, recovery, discharge, clinical documentation return, and activity reporting to support RTT and commissioner requirements.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Provision of elective diagnostic, outpatient and day case surgical activity delivered by Epsomedical Limited on behalf of Ashford and St Peter's Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Services support elective recovery and RTT backlog reduction and are delivered under NHS Standard Contract governance, with ASPH retaining overall pathway accountability.

Options: 6 months from commencement, with an option to extend by up to 6 months.

### Procurement Information

This procurement falls outside the scope of application of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and has been conducted in accordance with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 ("PSR 2023"). Regulation 3 of the PSR expressly disapplies the PCR 2015 for relevant healthcare services procurements. Accordingly, there was no requirement to publish a prior call for competition under the Official Journal of the European Union or the Find a Tender Service. The contract was awarded using the Urgent Award Process permitted under Regulation 14(2) of the PSR. Ashford and St Peter's Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust required immediate access to additional elective capacity in order to support statutory RTT performance, mitigate elective backlog pressures and deliver system-wide elective recovery objectives agreed with Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care Board. Time-limited non-recurrent elective recovery funding was allocated, necessitating rapid mobilisation of capacity which could not accommodate the timescales associated with a competitive process or other PSR routes. The Trust undertook engagement with viable independent sector providers across the local and regional market to support elective recovery delivery, including Circle Health Group, Nuffield Health and Epsomedical Limited. Activity was allocated proportionately based on provider capability, capacity, pathway suitability and readiness to mobilise within the required timeframe. Epsomedical Limited demonstrated the ability to deliver the required elective pathways safely and at pace, with appropriate governance and regulatory arrangements in place. The award is time-limited, activity-capped and proportionate to the urgency and scope of the requirement. The use of the Urgent Award Process was necessary to protect patient access to timely care and to maintain compliance with the Trust's obligations under the NHS Standard Contract and elective access standards. The award of the contract without prior publication of a call for competition is therefore lawful and compliant with the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023.
