The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust has completed a procurement process titled "MSK Insourcing for elective joint replacement," under the health services industry category. Located in Shrewsbury (region UKG22), this procurement was finalised on 6th February 2025 and awarded under the SBS Framework. The procurement for insourcing elective joint replacement services was carried out using a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as it falls outside the directive's scope.

The awarded contract was valued at £125,000 and has been executed with OUTPATIENT NETWORK LIMITED. This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses within the medical and hospital services industry, particularly those specialising in surgical procedures and elective joint replacement. OUTPATIENT NETWORK LIMITED, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Coventry, successfully secured this contract, highlighting potential prospects for similar businesses to engage in public sector projects.

The targeted and specific nature of this contract demonstrates that well-equipped and specialised medical service providers are particularly well-suited to compete and grow through such procurement opportunities.
