## Summary

King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured insourced and outsourced clinical services for its vascular ultrasound pathway. The work is intended to validate the hospital’s waiting list and improve pathway performance, using SIF funding. The requirement covers vascular ultrasound services rather than general cardiology provision. Delivery is within the Trust in London. The procurement was arranged through the Insourcing of Clinical Services Framework, with UK Vein Clinic Ltd named as the selected supplier. This is a single service requirement focused on reducing the vascular ultrasound waiting list and supporting the Trust’s pathway. The buyer is King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to UK Vein Clinic Ltd. The Trust used a direct award under the Insourcing of Clinical Services Framework, without a prior call for competition; one bid was recorded. Price was the stated award criterion. The contract was signed on 20 October 2026. No contract value, contract period or end date is recorded. The tender contains one lot, whose status is marked cancelled, while the award is active and the contract is active. The data therefore records an awarded and signed contract alongside a cancelled lot status; it does not explain the discrepancy. The reported valid bid values were both £132,000, representing the lowest and highest valid bid for the lot.

For suppliers preparing to compete for a similar requirement at King’s College Hospital, credibility would rest on delivering vascular ultrasound services within an NHS clinical pathway and supporting waiting-list validation and measurable performance improvement. The selected route was a direct award from an insourcing framework, so suppliers would need to be positioned to qualify for and deliver through the relevant framework route. The recorded competition had one bid, and the stated evaluation basis was price; a future competitor should therefore be able to provide a clear, competitive price for the defined pathway service. The requirement combines insourced and outsourced clinical provision, making the ability to organise suitable clinical capacity and integrate delivery into the Trust’s pathway commercially relevant. The award to a specialist clinic shows that a focused provider can meet this buyer’s requirement.
