Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Integrated Care Board has formally awarded a contract for the provision of Primary Care Vasectomy Services, with the procurement process aligned to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This direct award, valued at £600,000, falls under the "surgical specialist services" category, identified by CPV code 85121300. Situated in the County of Shropshire, the service will be delivered by GP practices with current contracts, namely Marysville Medical Practice, Shifnal and Priorslee Medical Practice, and Stirchley Medical Practice. The procurement stage detailed in this notice is the award, with the contract covering a 36-month period starting from 1 April 2025 and ending on 31 March 2028. Direct Award C was used, bypassing the usual competitive requirements under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This tender provides considerable opportunities for GP practices and similar primary care providers seeking to expand their service offerings or fortify existing ones. Practices equipped to deliver surgical specialist services, particularly those experienced with vasectomy procedures, will find this contract attractive due to its focus on continuity of existing service provision. By participating, such businesses can enhance their credentials within the healthcare landscape of Shropshire. The directive allows for terms that cater to practices capable of handling both general and local anaesthetic requirements, thus offering scope for expansion and reputation enhancement in service delivery. Interested businesses should demonstrate not only the ability to meet established standards but also capacity for sustaining service quality throughout the contract duration as prioritised in the award criteria.
