Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has enacted a contract modification for community vasectomy services covering Halton, Cheshire, St Helens, Warrington, and Wirral. Initially set for a two-year term from 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2025, the contract has been extended by 12 months, now concluding on 31st March 2026. The procurement falls under the health services category and was conducted using a limited method without a prior call for competition. The award was made to Bridgewater Family Planning Services, with the annual contract value estimated at approximately £622,746, effective from 10th April 2025.

This procurement offers a significant opportunity for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in community-based health services. The focus on providing a comprehensive patient pathway in a specified geographic region may interest companies capable of delivering targeted health interventions. SMEs like Bridgewater Family Planning Services, which already hold the contract, demonstrate that businesses of similar scale and capability are well-suited to compete for such tenders. The localisation of services might appeal to regional providers looking to expand their healthcare offerings in these areas.
