Elective Outpatient and Diagnostic Services

The NHS North West London Integrated Care Board is managing the procurement process for elective outpatient and diagnostic services across eight boroughs in North West London. This tender focuses on health services, specifically offering specialities in Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT), Gynaecology (including Menopause Services), and Gastroenterology. The procurement is at the award stage as of June 2025, with the contract active as of April 7, 2025, and set to run until April 6, 2026.

The procurement follows a direct award procedure without a prior call for competition, under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime 2023. It will be serviced by Harrow Health CIC, the supplier selected through this limited procurement method. This procurement presents promising business prospects, especially for large-scale health service providers looking to expand their footprint in North West London.

Given the direct award nature of the process, firms with established reputations in ENT, Gynaecology, and Gastroenterology would find this opportunity particularly suitable. Companies equipped with capabilities to cater to diverse patient needs under the NHS Payment Scheme for 2025/26 can benefit from participating in similar future tenders, leveraging their expertise to meet stringent patient choice criteria. The involvement of Harrow Health CIC signals a preference for providers with substantial industry experience and capacity to deliver specialised health services under a zero-based contract model.
