Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, led by NHS England, involves a contract titled "Specialised Commissioning Acute Contract- South East" under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime 2023. This contract focuses on health services within the services industry category and is applicable across the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process has reached the award stage as of 1st May 2025, with contracts signed on 1st April 2025.

The unique aspect of this procurement is its limited method due to the absence of competition for technical reasons, bypassing the need for prior publication of a call for competition.
