Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board (ICB) has awarded a contract for Community Vasectomy and Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) Services in Knowsley to Longview Primary Surgical Services Ltd. This contract, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, was confirmed on 7th February 2025 and became effective from 7th May 2025. It is set to run until 31st March 2026. The procurement process was conducted using a limited method without a prior publication of a call for competition, given the contract's nature as defined by the legal framework. The contract is classified under the health services category, with an emphasis on patient choice as the quality criterion, alongside price. The services are intended for patients registered with a GP in Knowsley, within the region UKD71.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health services who have the capabilities to deliver community-based care. Although the contract was awarded to an existing provider, Longview Primary Surgical Services Ltd, the procurement method underlines the likelihood of niche providers being instrumental in such community healthcare projects. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with strong patient-focused services may find similar future opportunities within the health sector, especially in areas prioritising patient choice and tailored service delivery. The ICB's approach to direct awarding suggests that providers with established relations and proven expertise in healthcare service delivery are particularly well-suited to these opportunities.
