Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process described involves Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust awarding a contract to Wirral University Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for specialist clinical endocrinology services under the Provider Selection Regime. The contract, valued at approximately £40,000, commenced on 1st April 2025 and covers a 12-month period. Classified under health and social work services, this procurement is situated in Liverpool, UK (region UKD7). The tender reached the Award stage, with the procurement conducted via a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication due to the lack of a realistic alternative provider.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for organisations within the healthcare sector, especially those offering specialised medical services. While the current agreement reflects a direct continuation with an existing provider, other similar entities might find opportunities in demonstrating unique value propositions or expanding service offerings in future procurements. Businesses focusing on innovation in healthcare delivery, or those with prior NHS collaborations, would be best positioned to pursue such opportunities, enabling them to establish or strengthen their foothold in the public healthcare domain.
