## Summary

Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust procured a package of health and clinical support services for users of its West Suffolk and wider Suffolk services. The scope covers physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, dietetics, anaesthesia support for electroconvulsive therapy, radiology and ECG imaging, emergency trolley provision and maintenance, emergency response and training, and community equipment for safe discharge from NHS wards. The work is classified as health services. The requirement is delivered across the West Suffolk area and for NSFT Suffolk service users, with emergency equipment supporting NSFT Wedgewood. It combines direct patient interventions, specialist clinical staffing, diagnostic services, medical equipment management and community discharge support.

This is a completed Provider Selection Regime award using Direct Award Process A, with no prior call for competition. The stated basis was that the existing NHS provider was considered the provider with no realistic alternative, alongside patient choice; cost was recorded as 100. The contract was awarded to West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, with one bid recorded. Its value is £200,000, dependent on need. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026 and runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2027, with an option to extend by two further 12-month periods. The package includes annual activity of 40 new and 40 follow-up physiotherapy interventions, 10 new and 30 follow-up speech and language referrals, 0.4 whole-time-equivalent dietetics support, and weekly anaesthesia sessions.

This requirement suits an established healthcare provider or specialist clinical consortium able to combine several disciplines under one service arrangement. Relevant capability includes physiotherapy and speech and language therapy assessments and follow-up care, dietetic advice, anaesthetic consultant support for electroconvulsive therapy, operating department practitioner and recovery nursing cover, and radiology and ECG services. Competitors would also need to provide and maintain emergency trolleys, stock medical equipment, deliver cardiac-arrest response and training, and source community equipment that supports safe discharge. Credibility would depend on dependable clinical staffing across recurring weekly and annual activity, the ability to coordinate hospital and community services, and experience delivering integrated NHS-facing care across Suffolk.
