Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) through primary care in West Northamptonshire has been completed, with West Northamptonshire Council serving as the contracting authority. The procurement falls under the health and social work services category, with a focus on delivering health services to residents within the region. The procedure utilised was a limited award process without prior publication of a call for competition, effectively commencing on the 1st of April, 2025, and concluding on the 31st of January, 2028. Two agreements were inked on the 28th of March, 2025, each valued at £337,500, with the contracts awarded based on price criteria, despite options being cancelled for GP practice delivery.

This tender offers businesses in the healthcare sector an opportunity to expand their service offerings in primary care by implementing LARC distribution across GP practices. Entities such as General Practice Alliance Ltd and Principle Medical Limited, both sizeable suppliers, were successful in securing contracts, demonstrating that organisations with established infrastructure and expertise in health services are well-positioned to compete in such procurement processes. Businesses aiming to seize similar opportunities should consider aligning their services to meet regional health needs and explore avenues to participate in future direct award procedures initiated by regional authorities like West Northamptonshire Council.
