Acute Hospital Health Services - Humber & North Yorkshire

The NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for Acute Hospital Health Services under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, specifically to Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. The procurement process, designated as a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) confirmation of contract award notice, falls outside the traditional scope of Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and utilised a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract covers the provision of essential healthcare services, classified under the CPV code 85110000, with the service region catered by this contract being UKE11 and UKE12, spanning East Riding of Yorkshire.

The contract term is set from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, with the tender process now in its award stage, having been completed and overseen by non-conflicted board members to manage any conflicts of interest. This tender represents a significant opportunity for business growth for providers capable of delivering specialised healthcare services, particularly those aligned with hospital and medical practice services, as characterised by the industry's requirements. Notably, the awarded NHS Trust was identified as uniquely positioned to offer these services due to its capabilities and standing within the healthcare sector.

Large-scale healthcare providers with a strong regional presence and capability to fulfil the required service scope would have been well-suited to compete under similar procurement conditions. The contract's substantial lifetime value, approximately £570,562,236, reflects the significant investment and opportunity for expansion and partnership with the NHS within the specified geographic regions.
