Ireland – Spinal Treatment Services for Low-Complexity Cases

The Irish health authority is seeking qualified medical service providers to establish a framework agreement for comprehensive spine care services. The contract will serve approximately 1,200 patients with straightforward, low-complexity spinal conditions (typically affecting one or two vertebral levels) requiring standard surgical or medical treatment. Selected providers will assume full clinical responsibility for the complete patient journey, including: initial specialist outpatient assessment, diagnostic imaging and evaluation, conservative treatment options, surgical intervention (where clinically necessary), and post-operative care through discharge. The service delivery team must include qualified and accredited spinal surgeons, physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, radiologists, and allied health professionals, with access to anaesthesia and pain management specialists as needed. Providers should be experienced in managing straightforward spine cases with minimal technical complexity and lower patient risk profiles.
