Supply of Angiography & Percantenous Coronary Interventional Consumables (PCI)

University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust (UHD) are looking for a long term partnership that delivers a mutually beneficial service to the local population of private Oncology patients. The lack of specialist private provision within the region means people with insurance (or choosing to self-pay) have very little option other than to travel out of area or default to NHS services. The Dorset Cancer Centre is based at Poole and serves a 1m population, with one of the highest proportions of over 65s in the UK. It is the 14th busiest cancer centre based on patients treated list (PTL). There are good rates of PMI but no dedicated providers. With an empty linac bunker at Poole, and another at Dorchester, UHD are looking for a dedicated Oncology treatment provider to occupy the empty linac bunker at both sites where adjacent land could facilitate a dedicated private unit. University Hospitals Dorset have conducted some preliminary market engagement activity in preparation for a subsequent planned procurement notice and tender opportunity.

Opportunity for Joint Venture Partnership in Private Healthcare Provision University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust University Hospitals Dorset (UHD) is on a transformative journey to become home to the UK’s largest planned care hospital, offering an unrivalled breadth and volume of elective services. As part of this ambitious programme, we are seeking a high-calibre private healthcare operator to join us as a Joint Venture (JV) partner. This is a unique opportunity to co-develop and grow our Private Patient (PP) services in a way that aligns with our core values and benefits the wider population. We are not seeking capital investment or construction partners. Instead, we are focused on finding a strategic service partner—a proven operator in private healthcare with a strong track record of delivering high-quality, patient-centred care. Dorset represents a significant growth market for private care, currently under-served relative to demand. A successful private offering will not only provide greater choice for patients but also support UHD’s mission to maximise the impact of our £900m NHS budget on the health and wellbeing of our community. UHD is midway through a £550 million estates and service transformation programme. With excellent clinical teams and a strong operational foundation already in place, we are ready to expand our private care capabilities in partnership with an organisation that shares our commitment to excellence, integrity, and innovation. We are now inviting expressions of interest from suitably qualified JV private healthcare partners. Following this stage, an open tender will be conducted and interested parties will be invited to participate in a tender exercise where a partner will be selected to form a strategic partnership with UHD. For more information, please visit our UHD website and submit your expression of interest no later than 14:0 on the 13th of June. EOI Submissions should be made directly via email to Sean.fuller@uhd.nhs.uk and should include a brief overview of your organisation, and a short description of your experience in this area with contact details where tender invites can be sent.
