Community Microsuction Service (Mid Nottinghamshire)

The NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board is overseeing a procurement initiative for Community Microsuction Services, specifically aimed at the Mid Nottinghamshire area. This procurement falls under the health services category, involving the removal of earwax or foreign bodies using microsuction, which does not require specialist intervention. As of 15th May 2025, the contracting process has been updated to reflect the awarding of the contract under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023.

The contract is awarded using a direct award process without a prior call for competition. The services are scheduled to commence on 1st April 2025 and run until 31st March 2027. Key details of the procurement include its location in Nottinghamshire and the confirmation that the Provider Selection Regime stands outside the Procurement Act 2023.

This tender provides significant opportunities for existing providers in the health services sector, particularly those already familiar with responding to NHS requirements. Businesses specialising in microsuction services have the opportunity to expand their operations and solidify partnerships with public sector organisations. The contract has been awarded to Willowbrook Medical Practice and Roundwood Surgery, suggesting that large scale health service providers are well-suited to such contracts.

The procurement method favours businesses that can deliver reliable, quality services promptly, offering growth through increased service volume and securing long-term public sector contracts.
