## Summary

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured a breast service support arrangement providing insourced clinical support capacity. The service covers elective care delivered locally for patients across the Trust’s sites, including work during weekdays and at weekends. The provider must be regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The requirement is classified as hospital services and falls within the wider health services market. It is a subcontracted clinical service rather than the purchase of equipment, construction or standalone consultancy. Suppliers therefore need to operate, or be able to provide staff and clinical delivery through, an appropriately regulated healthcare service capable of supporting elective breast care across multiple hospital sites and different operating days.

The procurement is recorded at the award stage, with KPI Health selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and is recorded as active; the stated intended commencement date was 8 September 2026. Its value is £213,033.26. The Trust used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, proposing a call-off from an existing framework under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. One lot covered the full clinical support service and included an option for further provision. Price was the stated evaluation criterion. The process record also marks that lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active. One bid was reported.

This award shows a requirement for an established healthcare provider able to supply additional elective clinical capacity across several hospital sites, including weekday and weekend delivery. A credible competitor would need a CQC-regulated operating model, appropriately qualified clinical teams, robust governance and the operational capacity to work as an insourced service within an NHS trust. Experience of delivering hospital-based elective care, coordinating activity across sites and maintaining safe, consistent patient pathways would be important. The buyer used a framework call-off route, so suppliers seeking comparable work should understand relevant healthcare frameworks and be capable of meeting their provider and service requirements. The single reported bid and selection on price indicate that competitive cost control, alongside demonstrable clinical compliance and dependable mobilisation, would matter.
