Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process organised by Mersey & West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust concluded with the award of a contract titled "National Joint Registry Subscription" under the industry category of subscription services. The contract, valued at £18,500.66, was awarded on 31st March 2025, with the award notice published on 17th September 2025. The procurement process employed a method "Below threshold - without competition." The contract's delivery location is Prescot, England, with a postal code of L35 5DR, and it covers a period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. This procurement falls under the "goods" category and was in the award stage as of the last update.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) seeking to expand their foothold in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in subscription services. Given the nature of the procurement process, which did not involve competition and was carried out under specific thresholds, businesses that can meet the Trust’s specific subscription needs without requiring large-scale competitive bids are best suited to compete for similar future opportunities. Additionally, this may be a valuable precedent for organisations aiming to provide services or goods aligned with institutional healthcare procurement needs.
