## Summary

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust procured insourced vascular surgery services to support the delivery of vascular surgery and first outpatient appointment performance. The requirement is for specialist medical hospital services, including clinicians providing surgical capacity within the West Suffolk vascular network. The buyer is West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, based in Bury St Edmunds. The contracted service is intended to supplement the Trust’s existing clinical provision rather than purchase goods, construction or general consultancy. It is relevant to specialist vascular surgery providers, clinical insourcing companies, NHS service organisations and healthcare operators able to supply appropriately qualified clinicians and deliver planned vascular activity within the Trust’s local network.

The procurement has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was completed and the contract was awarded to UK Vein Clinic. The contract was signed on 31 December 2025 and ran from 29 January 2026 to 31 March 2026, covering a three-month service period. Its value was £48,935 gross, including applicable taxes, funded by NHS England for insourcing support. The contract is recorded as active, while the tender status is complete. The published outcome identifies UK Vein Clinic as the successful supplier for the full vascular surgery requirement. No competitive evaluation basis is recorded for this direct award.

This procurement indicates demand from West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust for specialist vascular surgery capacity delivered through insourcing. A credible future supplier would need appropriately qualified vascular clinicians, the governance and clinical infrastructure required to provide medical hospital services, and the operational capacity to support outpatient performance as well as surgical delivery. Experience working within NHS pathways and established relationships with local clinical networks would be commercially relevant. UK Vein Clinic’s advantage included using clinicians who already operate in the West Suffolk Vascular Network, suggesting that familiarity with local systems, teams and referral pathways can strengthen a supplier’s position when this requirement returns. Providers able to mobilise safely and integrate with NHS services would be best placed.
