The service is intended to expedite treatment and help reduce elective waiting lists, while supporting continuity, safety and quality of care. Delivery is associated with Bath and North East Somerset, and the selected provider is Sulis Hospital Bath. This is a healthcare services requirement for elective hospital treatment, rather than a construction, equipment supply or general consultancy opportunity. It is a new contract for an existing service, focused on treating patients who have expressed a preference for out-of-county care. The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 12 August 2026 to Sulis Hospital Bath. The contract value is £200,000 including the stated 12-month extension period. Its contract term runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an option to extend to 31 March 2028. The award was made under the Provider Selection Regime through direct award B, using an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The stated rationale is that patient choice requires a provider able to deliver the chosen treatment while maintaining continuity, safety and quality, making a competitive process unsuitable. The award criterion was Patient Choice, assessed on a 100-point cost basis. One bid was recorded. This outcome indicates demand from the NHS commissioner for elective trauma and orthopaedic hospital capacity outside Cornwall, particularly where patient choice requires treatment elsewhere and waiting times need to be reduced. A credible future competitor would need to provide safe, high-quality elective orthopaedic care at hospital scale, accept patients who choose an out-of-county provider, and demonstrate reliable clinical continuity from referral through treatment. Relevant capability includes managing elective patient pathways, supporting timely treatment, and working with an NHS integrated care board on activity, quality and finance requirements. Providers with established trauma and orthopaedic services, sufficient capacity for NHS-referred patients, and experience delivering existing healthcare services would be best placed to compete when this requirement is next considered. ## Notice This is a service specification for elective patients that have expressed patient choice to be treat out of county in order to expedite their treatment and support reduction of elective wait lists. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This is a service specification for elective patients that have expressed patient choice to be treat out of county in order to expedite their treatment and support reduction of elective wait lists. Contract term 01.04.2026 - 31.03.2027 with option to extend by 12 months, to 31.03.2028. Lifetime value PS200,000 including extension period of 12 months. This contract is awarded under direct award B. This is a new contract for an existing service. ### Procurement Information The proposed service relates specifically to elective patients who have expressed a preference for their treatment to be delivered out of county in order to expedite care. As such, the Commissioner is required to contract with a provider able to deliver the chosen services while maintaining continuity, safety and quality of care. A competitive process would not be compatible with the delivery of patient choice in this context. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/077413-2026 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 12 Aug 2026 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £200,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board | | Locality | CORNWALL | | Postcode area | Plymouth | | Postcode | PL31 2FR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Lanivet, Blisland & Bodmin St Lawrence | | Westminster constituency | North Cornwall | | Delivery location | TLK12 Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | Sulis Hospital Bath | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85111000 - Hospital services ## Release History - 13 Aug 2026 at 16:57 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/077413-2026 ## Notice URLs - https://www.cedr.com/ - https://www.cios.icb.nhs.uk/ - https://www.sulishospital.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
