## Summary

University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust procured insourced ear, nose and throat (ENT) support, covering outpatient clinics and surgery. The service is for patients using the Trust’s facilities in Stoke-on-Trent, with the buyer based at Royal Stoke University Hospital. This is a healthcare service procurement, classified under CPV 85100000. The requirement concerns clinical capacity delivered by an external provider to support ENT outpatient activity and surgical treatment. The selected supplier, MEDINET CLINICAL SERVICES LTD, is a Birmingham-based small or medium-sized enterprise. The arrangement is for the Trust’s ENT service rather than general hospital support, so relevant suppliers need experience in delivering outsourced ENT clinical services, including both outpatient and surgical provision.

The Trust selected MEDINET CLINICAL SERVICES LTD through a Provider Selection Regime direct award process without prior publication of a call for competition. The recorded award date is 16 September 2026, with a contract value of £677,092.23 including the stated contract value, and a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract may be extended by up to six months. The selection assessed the existing provider against quality and innovation (40%), value (20%), integration, collaboration and service sustainability (10%), improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice (20%), and social value (10%). The notice records one bid and an active award. The Trust stated that formal approval and signature were still required; representations were due by midnight on 28 September 2026.

This procurement signals a recurring requirement for outsourced ENT capacity at University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust, combining outpatient clinics with surgery. Competitors seeking similar work would need to demonstrate safe, reliable clinical delivery across both settings, with evidence of quality improvement and innovation. They would also need a credible approach to value for money, integration with Trust services, collaboration with clinical teams and maintaining service sustainability. Strong evidence on improving patient access, reducing health inequalities and supporting patient choice would be important, alongside measurable social value commitments. The selected supplier’s scale indicates that a focused specialist provider can meet this type of requirement. Relevant businesses should therefore be able to evidence ENT expertise, sufficient clinical capacity, governance and mobilisation capability, and effective partnership working with an NHS trust.
