Summary, notice description and lot information
The procurement process for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Services for all ages was conducted by NHS England in collaboration with NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGCSU). The tender focused on health services across various regions in England, including the East of England, London and South East, and the South West. This open procurement involved commissioning geographically dispersed centres to provide HBOT services.
The service commenced on 1st October 2025 and spans five years, with a possible extension of two additional years. This process, falling under the Provider Selection Regime, led to contract awards for specific lots including Lot 3: East of England, Lot 5: London and South East, and Lot 6: South West, with a projected contract duration until September 2032 for these services. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with expertise in clinical care and innovation.
The awarded lots in the East of England, London and South East, and the South West offer a substantial market for service providers with capabilities in hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Organisations such as LHM Healthcare Ltd, QinetiQ Ltd, and DDRC Healthcare have already secured contracts, indicating potential for SMEs and larger businesses with a strong track record in health service delivery and innovation. With emphasis on quality, integration, and social value, the successful bidders met comprehensive criteria, offering a clear opportunity for other qualified entities to engage in future related tenders.
