Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by NHS England involved the confirmation of contract awards under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contracting process focused on specialised commissioning acute contracts within the health services category in the North West region of the UK. The procurement stage is in the Award phase, with contracts effectively signed from 1st April 2025. The procurement method involved a limited process, specifically awarding contracts without the prior publication of a call for competition. This was due to an absence of competition for specific technical reasons, whereby the services could only be provided by the existing suppliers, such as NHS Foundation Trusts and other healthcare organisations in the region.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities by securing service provision agreements with NHS England for health services, particularly within the specialised commissioning sector. Businesses already operating within the healthcare sector and possessing unique capabilities or technology can benefit from participating in such direct award processes, especially when there is a lack of alternative providers. Large-scale suppliers with prior experience in delivering specialised health services are particularly well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes, ensuring continuity and quality of service provision within the NHS framework.
