Dear Zoe Upshall 
 
FOI Ref: 23-20682 
 
I am writing to confirm that the West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust has now completed its 
search for the information which you requested on 26th June 2023 
Please find our response to your request.  
- Has the trust utilised "Insourcing" with the FY 22/23? Yes 
- What was the insourcing spend by the trust for 22/23? £92,822 
- How was Insourcing procured by the trust? Was a particular framework used? – SBS Framework  
- Outside of procurement team who is the Senior Officer responsible for Insourcing? – no single 
point of contact 
 
For clarity, 'insourcing' is defined as: "where an NHS organisation sub-contracts medical 
services/procedures. It differs to locum supply in that the full end to end service is provided, not just 
staff."

Patents Act 1988. You are free to use it for your own purposes, including any non-
commercial research and for the purposes of news reporting. Any other reuse, for example 
commercial publication, would require the permission of the copyright holder. 
If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish 
to make a complaint or request a review of our decision, you should write to:
