Provision of Cardiac Theatre Insourcing Services

Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "Provision of Cardiac Theatre Insourcing Services," with a focus on surgical hospital services. The engagement is set in the North West of England, specifically in Blackpool, and the procurement is categorised under services in the healthcare industry. Initial milestones have been set, with a significant due date for the specification proposal via Atamis on 28th November 2025.

This process aims to inform a business case development under the Provider Selection Regime, and while it is not yet a call for tender, it signals forthcoming procurement activities. This preliminary market engagement represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in surgical hospital services, particularly those capable of providing high-quality insourcing solutions for cardiac theatre services. With a procurement value of £500,000, it creates a conducive environment for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to participate and compete.

The projected contract period is from 2nd February to 31st May 2026, offering a medium-term engagement ideal for businesses seeking to expand their portfolio in healthcare provisioning within central government frameworks.
