Provision of Insourced and Outsourced Clinical Services Framework (Framework Re-opening)

Description

The aim of this Framework is to provide Relevant Authorities with fully compliant solutions which supplement the delivery of patient care by Relevant Authorities in line with the NHS' core Key Performance Indicators and standards.
The Framework has two Lots.
Lot 1 Insourced Clinical Services
Lot 2 Outsourced Clinical Services
Insourced Services are clinical services which are delivered on the premises of the contracting Relevant Authority and may use that organisation's equipment.
Outsourced Services are clinical services which are delivered on premises owned or operated by the Provider.
Insourced and Outsourced Services will include the full range of Surgical and Medical specialties and sub-specialties. The specialties and sub-specialties are those listed by the various Surgical and Medical Royal Colleges.
This is a Framework under The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and The Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025
In accordance with Regulation 17 of The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and Regulation 17 of The Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025, the Framework will be open to applications from new potential Providers during the Term of the Framework. Previously appointed Providers are NOT obliged to re-apply.
This notice concerns the opening of the Framework opportunity for applications from new potential Providers. 
Tenderers may Tender for one or both Lots of the Framework.
The Framework has been established under The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and The Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025 (and as amended) (together the PSR) for use by all Relevant Authorities (and any future successors to these organisations). 
"Relevant Authority" is defined in section 12ZB(7) of the National Health Service Act 2006 and in section 10A(9) of the National Health Service (Wales) Act 2006.
