- Must be registered and compliant under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023

How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a 'Direct Award' notice, not an open tender — it means the buyer has chosen to extend with their existing provider rather than run a competitive bidding process. If you're not the current provider (ICS Operations Ltd), you cannot bid on this specific notice.
- 2The 'PSR' (Provider Selection Regime) is a special NHS procurement route for healthcare services under specific regulations — it has different rules than standard government contracting.
- 3The contract value shown (£320,000 initial + up to £765,000 with extensions) tells you the financial scale, but this is for reference only if you're the current provider or considering similar contracts.
- 4The CPV code (85111300-3) is the EU classification for gynaecology hospital services — use this to search for similar contracts in future.
- 5Check whether there are any 'standstill periods' or opportunity to challenge this direct award decision in the full tender documents — direct awards sometimes allow formal objections.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're not the current provider: this specific contract is closed to new bidders, but monitor the health trust's future procurement notices (after November 2026) when they may re-tender. Subscribe to their tender alerts and the NHS e-Procurement portal.
- If you provide related healthcare services: consider contacting the trust directly to express interest in future gynaecology-related opportunities, subcontracting to Xyla, or joining their supplier list for other specialties.
- Understand the 'insourced' model — this means the trust wants services run in-house, not by external private providers. If bidding on similar contracts in future, emphasize your ability to integrate with NHS staff, systems, and governance.
