Summary of the contracting process

The Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for a Microbiology Advice Service in Essex to Dr Louise Teare Ltd. The procurement process was under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, as confirmed by the contract award notice issued on 5th September 2024. The awarded contract, valued at £36,000, will commence on 1st April 2024 and will expire on 31st March 2027. This limited procurement process, identified by the code "C191202", did not require prior publication due to the absence of realistic alternative providers for this existing service. Key dates include the signing date of the contract on 1st August 2024 and the decision was made by the EPUT Executive Operational Committee, emphasising criteria such as quality, innovation, and social value.

This tender provides a substantial opportunity for businesses within the community health services sector, focusing on delivering high-quality microbiology advice. Companies engaged in health service integration, collaboration, and those adept at addressing health inequalities would find this contract particularly beneficial. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with innovative solutions and a commitment to service sustainability are well-suited to compete for similar opportunities in the future. Additionally, businesses capable of providing social value alongside their core services will have a competitive edge in similar procurement processes initiated by bodies governed by public law like the Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust.
