Contract Award for Bone Donation Services

The University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust has announced its intention to award a contract for Bone Donation clinical services to Practice Plus Group Hospitals Limited, specifically for the Barlborough NHS Treatment Centre. This contract will involve the donation of surplus tissue from elective orthopaedic surgeries, which is essential for transplantation purposes.

As outlined in the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) notice, this is a unique situation where the contract is being awarded without prior publication. The decision was made following a thorough evaluation process, where the awarding authority sought to ensure the highest standards of health service provision. The successful contractor, Practice Plus Group Hospitals Limited, will be responsible for managing the service that requires meticulous attention to the quality and safety of the donated tissues.

This award also emphasizes the importance of collaboration between the Trust and the provider, as both parties work together to improve the accessibility and efficiency of healthcare services for the community. Given that the contractor is located not far from Leicester, the arrangement is expected to facilitate timely access to essential services.
