Summary of the contracting process

NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board has completed the procurement process titled "Provision of Urgent Award Community Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Services" in the community health services category, with a specific focus on adult Carpal Tunnel Decompression services to manage symptoms and reduce acute referrals.

The contract, totalling £339,862 for the 2025-26 planning value, was awarded to Circle Southend Private Hospital for an initial period from 1st April 2025 to 31st October 2025 with an option to extend until 31st March 2026.

This urgent procurement was conducted under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, circumventing the typical Public Contracts Regulations 2015, to address immediate patient safety concerns due to capacity limitations at MSEFT. SMEs and established healthcare providers with the flexibility to meet urgent demands and uphold care standards are well-suited to compete for such opportunities, potentially leading to long-term service provision arrangements within the NHS framework.
