## Summary

Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured surgical outpatient services to provide additional clinical capacity for its patients. The requirement was for Medefer to deliver surgical outpatient appointments and activity for NNUH, supporting the Trust in addressing patient waiting times and reducing the risk of harm associated with delays. The buying organisation is the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based on Colney Lane in Norwich. This is a healthcare services opportunity rather than a supply or construction contract. The relevant service category is surgical hospital services. The selected provider, Medefer Limited, is an SME specialising in delivering this type of outpatient clinical capacity.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage and the tender is recorded as complete. It used a limited procedure and was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition under the Provider Selection Regime urgent award route. The contract was awarded on 17 August 2026 to Medefer Limited, with one bid recorded. The contract value is a maximum of £858,452, in GBP, on a cost-and-volume basis. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 31 March 2027, and the contract was signed on 17 August 2026. Price was the stated award criterion. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, while the related award and contract are active.

This award demonstrates demand from Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for outsourced surgical outpatient capacity to help manage patient waiting times. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need to provide safe, scalable clinical outpatient services and mobilise capacity quickly when urgent patient pressures arise. Credibility would depend on being able to deliver surgical hospital services for an NHS hospital, manage activity on a cost-and-volume basis, and support the Trust’s clinical and operational requirements. The selection of an SME shows that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist provider rather than only by a large healthcare group. A strong future competitor would also need a clear price model and sufficient clinical delivery capacity.

## Notice

This contract will run from 17/08/2026 until 31/03/2027, awarded urgently due to patient wait times causing potential patient harm.
