## Summary

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is procuring dermatology services for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) through an insourcing arrangement. The work is a clinical health service delivered for the Trust in Lincolnshire; the listed delivery area is Lincolnshire. The description identifies dermatology BCC insourcing, rather than a wider range of hospital services. The selected provider is an existing supplier, indicating that the requirement concerns delivering this specialist service within the Trust’s provision. Businesses operating in dermatology and able to provide BCC-related clinical capacity are the relevant market.

The process has reached an intention-to-award stage under the Provider Selection Regime, and the notice says the contract has not yet been formally awarded. DMC Healthcare Ltd is named as the selected supplier; one bid was recorded. The stated service period runs from 1 November 2026 to 30 April 2027, with options described in the lot details for up to two further six-month periods. The estimated and contracted value is £300,000. The Trust used Direct Award Process C without a prior competition, with price identified as the award criterion. Representations under the standstill arrangements were due by midnight on 30 October 2026 according to the notice description; another field gives 30 April 2026, so the source contains conflicting deadlines.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from this Trust, the opportunity demonstrates demand for specialist dermatology capacity focused on basal cell carcinoma, delivered through an insourcing model. A credible competitor would need suitably qualified clinical staff and the operational ability to provide the service for the Trust in Lincolnshire. The award went to an existing provider through Direct Award Process C, so a supplier seeking to compete if the requirement returns would need to demonstrate a strong fit with the Trust’s service needs and confidence in delivering this defined clinical service. The recorded single bid and price criterion indicate the basis used in this process, but do not establish that the same route or evaluation approach would apply to any later procurement.
