East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust - Acute Services

The procurement process involves the NHS Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board seeking services within the health category. Specifically, the project focuses on acute services, including emergency care, to be delivered by the East Suffolk and North East Essex NHS Foundation Trust. This endeavour is part of a larger digitalisation programme in East Suffolk and North Essex.

The procurement is at the award stage, with the contract having been recently modified. The services are to be executed in UKH14 (Ipswich) and UKH34 (Colchester), defined under the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023 and not under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. A significant contract value of £1,832,357,409 has been awarded to support the programme over a period of 1,080 days.

This tender offers a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in healthcare services and the application of digital solutions within the healthcare sector. Larger organisations that can meet the demands of an acute care environment, which often includes emergency provision, and have previously handled comparable NHS projects may find this opportunity particularly well-suited to their capacities. Businesses specialising in healthcare facility management, digital healthcare transformation, and hospital system upgrades will find this contract offers scope for strategic growth, aligning with the NHS’s digitalisation agenda.
