Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust is procuring ad-hoc neurophysiology clinics, provided when required. Neurophysiology is a specialist healthcare service involving the clinical assessment and investigation of nervous-system function. The requirement is delivered for the Trust in Liverpool, at its Lower Lane site, with the published delivery location also identified within the North West. The procurement is categorised as health services. The requirement is demand-led: the number of clinics undertaken determines the overall scale of activity. It is therefore suited to providers able to supply appropriately qualified clinical teams, organise clinic delivery around changing demand and work within an NHS hospital setting. The selected supplier, Arkadia Clinical Solutions Limited, is identified as an SME.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to Arkadia Clinical Solutions Limited on 28 August 2026 for £30,000. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The tender had a submission deadline of 27 August 2026 at 12:00. The procurement is complete and the award is active. The requirement was presented as a single service, with the value dependent on the number of neurophysiology clinics undertaken. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation was conducted through the framework call-off route, so competition was restricted to suppliers eligible to participate in that framework rather than an unrestricted open tender.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a hospital buyer’s need for flexible, specialist neurophysiology clinic capacity delivered on an ad-hoc basis. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need clinical expertise in neurophysiology, suitably qualified and experienced practitioners, and the operational capacity to provide clinics when requested rather than only through a fixed schedule. Providers should also be able to coordinate safely with NHS clinical services, meet the governance and quality expectations of a healthcare setting, and manage activity whose volume varies with demand. The use of a framework call-off shows that access to an appropriate framework route is commercially important. The requirement’s SME suitability indicates that a focused specialist provider can compete, provided it can demonstrate reliable delivery at the scale required by the Trust.
