Acute Inpatient Services for Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust

Mid South Essex NHS Foundation Trust · NHS and health

In brief

Mid South Essex NHS Foundation Trust was looking for suppliers for healthcare and care work. Bidding has closed and no award has been published yet.

It is a framework worth up to £125,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 3 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 1 October 2026.

It is split into 5 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

The Services have been divided into the following packages (Lots): Lot 1 – Block of 10 Beds for Patients 50+ years Lot 2 – Block of 8 Beds for Patients 50+ years Lot 3 – Block of 10 Beds for Patients 18+ years Lot 4 – Block of 10 Beds for Patients 18+ years Lot 5 – Spot Purchase of Beds for Ad Hoc requirements HTE intends to a single provider to Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4. Whereas Lot 5 will be unrestricted in the number of providers appointed. HTE intends to appoint a minimum of two (2) suppliers across Lots 1 to 4 collectively.
