Summary of the contracting process

The NHS England Specialised Commissioning has awarded contracts for Adult Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) Centres across various regions. These contracts aim to provide lifelong services to patients over 16 with PCD, ensuring optimal care standards to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with the condition. Four lots were awarded to different NHS Trusts, with a contract duration of three years, starting from November 2023, and a possibility of a one-year extension.

This tender represents an opportunity for large-scale health service providers to contribute to the ongoing management of PCD patients, including access to multidisciplinary teams, specialist care, and outreach services. The procurement stage involved a market engagement exercise to assess capacity and capability, leading to the direct award of contracts due to a lack of competition in each lot. Businesses in the health services industry, particularly those with experience in specialist care and service delivery, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future.

Procurement Information

A comprehensive market engagement exercise was conducted to understand the current and future capacity and capability of potential providers.<br/><br/>The exercise included a publicly accessible invitation for providers to express interest and demonstrate their capability to meet the contract requirements.<br/><br/>For each of lots only one capable provider responded to the market engagement exercise.<br/><br/>The responses were thoroughly assessed and deemed to be sufficient evidence of a lack of competition (per lot) in the market for the specified service.<br/><br/>The market engagement documentation clearly stated that commissioners would consider placing direct awards where competition is deemed to be absent following a review of the market engagement responses.<br/><br/>Given the evidence of a lack of competition, as demonstrated by the singular response (per individual lot) to the market engagement exercise, direct awards have been placed with all capable providers for each of the Lots.
