Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for a Children's Continence Service in the Bedfordshire, Luton, and Milton Keynes region has reached the contract award stage under urgent circumstances outlined in the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board, based in Bedfordshire, is the contracting authority overseeing this services procurement, valued at £252,387 for a contract term beginning from 1 April 2025. The procurement method used was 'limited', without prior publication of a call for competition, ensuring immediate mitigation of safety and care quality risks. This contract was awarded to Milton Keynes Urgent Care Services, ensuring continued service delivery in the health services category within Milton Keynes.
