Insourcing Activity OMFS

The procurement process for the "Insourcing Activity OMFS" was led by the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, a regional health authority situated in Trafford, United Kingdom, under the industry category of health services. This procurement followed a limited method, described as an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, to continue utilising the current service provider. The contract was awarded to Key Performance International Healthcare Ltd.

after bidding, with a total value of £241,000. The procurement stage, now complete, progressed to the award phase with the contract signed on 1st May 2025 for services to be delivered in the UKD3 region. The tender relied on the legal framework of the EU directive 2014/24/EU but was outside the scope for a call due to specific directive exemptions.

This tender presents potential business growth opportunities, especially for firms involved in health services and those capable of delivering effective insourcing solutions. However, given the method of procurement, it primarily benefits the current service provider. Smaller companies, particularly those identified as SMEs, would find such contract opportunities appealing, provided they can navigate limited procurement methods.

Future contracts of this nature might encourage similar businesses to align strategically with regional health authorities to explore direct contract awards. Additionally, companies capable of offering competitive and comprehensive health service solutions are well-suited to compete in comparable tenders.
