The Somerset NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for insourced gynaecology services under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, specifically facilitated through the SBS Framework 10203. The procurement falls in the services category, focused on gynaecological hospital services and is based in the UKK23 region. The Provider Selection Regime leads to a contract value estimated at £300,000, with the services planned to be provided from 10 January 2026 to 9 January 2027, and an optional extension of up to six months.

The procurement stage indicated a completion through a limited procurement method, using an award procedure without prior publication. The key decision makers included the Head of Women’s Sexual Health Services, Clinical Service Lead, Operational Service Manager, and Matron, reinforcing a commitment to enhancing health provision efficiency.

The partnership with Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, a body governed by public law, may provide substantial growth potential for small to medium enterprises like Your Medical Services Limited, the awarded SME. Leveraging existing frameworks, businesses can streamline participation in substantial health service projects, offering both local and regional development possibilities. The framework agreement and clear procurement criteria allow prepared and competitive providers to gain a foothold in the public healthcare sector, fostering both innovation and operational excellence.
