Orthotic Services

The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is planning a procurement process for the provision of orthotic services, with the contract scheduled to begin on 1st April 2026, and run through to 31st March 2031. Located in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, this planned procurement focuses on the healthcare services sector, specifically under the CPV classification for orthotic services (85111600). This procurement is in the planning stage, and potential suppliers should note the future notice date of 31st December 2025.

The estimated contract value is £9,339,556.80, including VAT, with a gross amount of £7,782,964.00 exclusive of VAT, indicating this is a substantial opportunity above the threshold, and includes a framework agreement. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in orthotic goods and services. It is especially suitable for SMEs as the contracting authority, The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, has indicated openness to their participation.

The long contract duration and potential for renewal provide a substantial prospect for stable, long-term business. Service providers with a strong track record and capabilities in healthcare, particularly those familiar with NHS procurement processes, are well-suited to consider this opportunity. The decision to enter this procurement process could help organisations expand their footprint in the healthcare sector and establish enduring partnerships with public sector entities.
