## Summary

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured trauma and orthopaedics insourcing services, covering the provision of orthopaedic clinical capacity and associated administrative healthcare services. The requirement was intended to support continuity of service and patient care. Delivery was described across the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West of England. The buyer is based in Chester. The relevant service category is orthopaedic services (CPV 85121283), with administrative healthcare services also included. This is a healthcare service requirement for providers able to deliver outsourced trauma and orthopaedic capacity across a broad England-wide geography, rather than a goods supply or construction project.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, using an urgent internal waiver to maintain service continuity and patient care. Price was the stated evaluation criterion. The process contains one lot, recorded as cancelled, but an active award and active contract are also recorded for Cheshire Care Allance LLP. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026. One bid was recorded for the lot. Reported valid bid values for the lot ranged from £240,000 to £300,000; figures reported across the wider tender ranged from £230,000 to £300,000. No award date or contract end date is stated in the procurement outcome.

This outcome evidences demand from an NHS foundation trust for outsourced trauma and orthopaedic capacity, with the requirement linked directly to maintaining patient care. A credible future competitor would need to provide established orthopaedic clinical services alongside the administrative support needed to run an insourcing arrangement. The broad delivery geography indicates the ability to operate across multiple English regions, although the buyer relationship is centred on Chester. Suppliers should be able to respond through an urgent, limited route where continuity is at risk, and demonstrate dependable service mobilisation, clinical governance and sufficient workforce capacity. The sole recorded bid and the selected large supplier indicate a requirement suited to organisations with substantial operational resources and relevant healthcare delivery experience.
