## Summary

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust procured outpatient hepatology insourcing services to provide 70 new appointments for new patients and help clear a backlog. This is a medical hospital service, delivered in connection with the Trust's outpatient network. The selected supplier was Outpatient Network Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Coventry. The requirement concerns specialist hepatology capacity rather than goods, construction or general administrative support. It is therefore most relevant to healthcare providers, clinical insourcing companies and specialist hospital-service organisations able to supply outpatient hepatology appointments at NHS Trust level.

The procurement has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using a limited procedure and an existing framework agreement without a prior competition. The award was made on 19 August 2026 to Outpatient Network Limited for £14,146.30. The contract period is 1 August 2026 to 30 September 2026. The award was assessed against price, alongside the stated ability to provide the service, service fees and timescales, and cost effectiveness. One bid was recorded, with both the lowest and highest valid bid valued at £14,146.30. The lot is marked cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active.

This award demonstrates demand from an NHS hospital Trust for short-term, specialist outpatient hepatology capacity to address a patient backlog. A credible future competitor would need to provide qualified clinical capability for new-patient hepatology appointments, manage delivery within a defined service window, and demonstrate that its fees and operating model offer value for money. Experience of delivering outsourced or insourced hospital outpatient services would help establish operational credibility, particularly where rapid capacity is needed without disrupting the Trust's existing services. Suppliers should also be able to work through framework-based provider selection routes and present clear evidence that they can deliver the required appointment volume reliably.
