Elective Services - Woodthorpe Hospital

The NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board has completed the awarding of a contract for Elective Services at Woodthorpe Hospital under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement process, categorised under health services, follows a direct award method, which was exercised without prior publication of a call for competition. This contract, valued at £1, is focused on the provision of elective services, emphasising patient choice and value.

The contract extends from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2030 and takes place primarily in the Nottingham area (regions UKF14, UKF15, and UKF16). The procurement stage is in the award phase, with the award decision made in September 2025. This tender offers opportunities for business growth primarily for large-scale health service providers capable of delivering comprehensive elective services while meeting the criteria of patient choice.

Although the contract was directly awarded to Woodthorpe Hospital, businesses in the healthcare sector can learn from such frameworks and explore similar opportunities arising from the Provider Selection Regime. Whilst offering limited opportunities for new entries, understanding the selection and award process can guide businesses to leverage competitive advantages in future tendering processes within the healthcare industry.
