Insourcing Arrangement for Elective Care - Lot 1

The insourcing arrangement for elective care, known as Lot 1, was conducted by Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust under a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement falls within the health services industry category and was geographically focused in the UKD3 region. The procurement has reached the contract stage, with the award currently active, and the contract was signed on 1st November 2025.

Despite the lot status being cancelled, the procurement process was completed under legal basis ID 32014L0024. This contract presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the healthcare services sector, to engage with a major regional authority like the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. Although the procurement method was limited and specific to health services, companies specialising in elective care could potentially find similar future opportunities to expand their market presence by aligning with NHS objectives and requirements.

Prospective suppliers should focus on competitive pricing and demonstrate past performance in similar insourcing arrangements to succeed in such tenders.
