Gynaecological Services in a community setting

The recent public procurement process managed by NHS Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care Board (ICB) pertained to the award of a contract for providing gynaecological services in a community setting. This contract has been awarded to Madeira Medical Practice, located in West Byfleet, UK. The procurement fell under the industry category of health and was governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

Offered through a Direct Award Process C, the contract runs from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2026, with an approximate total value of £28,739.76 over two years. The process bypassed prior publication due to specific regulatory contexts, ensuring continuity with the existing provider for services in the UKJ25 region. This tender represents significant business growth opportunities primarily for healthcare service providers skilled in delivering community-based medical services.

The emphasis on local delivery and integration across primary care networks highlights the need for providers with a strong local presence and operational efficiencies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) already established in healthcare could greatly benefit, particularly those focused on enhancing patient access and fostering collaborative healthcare environments. Moreover, the focus on diversity and sustainability underscores an expectation for innovative approaches in reducing inequalities and promoting choice in patient care.
