Totally secures further contract for insourcing with Saolta Group

Contract valued at c.£700,000 for 12 months with option to extend for further 12 months

Totally plc (AIM: TLY), a leading provider of frontline healthcare services, corporate fitness and wellbeing services across the UK and Ireland, announces it has won a further new insourcing contract for the delivery of Oral and Maxillofacial outpatient and day surgery services for the Saolta University Health Care Group (the "Saolta Group") in Ireland.

The new contract, valued at c.£700,000 is for the insourcing of maxillofacial/oral surgery outpatient assessments and day surgery sessions for a 12-month period commencing immediately following mobilisation.  All procedures will be delivered during weekends when hospital facilities are not otherwise in use, maximising the potential number of patients seen within the existing hospital infrastructure. Following the initial 12-month period there is an option to extend for a further 12 months. 

The contract was awarded through a mini-competition process where Totally (tendering as Totally Healthcare Limited) ranked highly on all criteria, including cost, approach and methodology, resourcing and mobilisation, contract management and service levels, underpinned by its experience working in other hospitals and bank of suitably qualified staff.

Totally has worked with Saolta Group in Ireland since 2021, providing insourcing support for various specialties including gastroenterology and urology.  The Saolta Group provides acute and specialist hospital services to the West and North West of Ireland in six hospitals across seven sites in Galway, Mayo, Roscommon, Sligo, Leitrim, Donegal and adjoining counties.
