## Summary

The procurement process is initiated by East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, focusing on an off-site Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) service under the title "Off-site UTC service." This service is categorised under Health services and is located in the region of Eastbourne (UKJ2). The process is at the awarding stage under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023, specifically an intention to award notice. The standstill period for this contract began on 5th June 2026, with representations due by 18th June 2026. The procurement method used is limited, being an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition.

This tender presents a business growth opportunity particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in health services, given the success of prior pilot schemes by the contracted provider, South Downs Health and Care Limited. Businesses capable of offering robust service delivery in close proximity to the District General Hospital (DGH) in Eastbourne will find this tender strategically aligned with their operational strengths. Furthermore, the procurement method suggests a preference for providers with established capabilities in fulfilling complex health service contracts, thereby favouring organisations with proven track records in similar healthcare environments.
