Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process detailed involves NHS Hampshire and the Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board awarding a contract for Fertility Investigations services. The contract falls under the Community Health Services category and is guided by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, thereby exempt from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Procurement Act 2023. Located in the South East region of England, the procurement process moved to the award stage, culminating with the decision's approval by the HIOW Spending Control Group on 30th May 2025. The awarded contract, starting from 1st June 2025 to 31st May 2026, was achieved via a limited procurement method, specifically through a direct award process without a prior call for competition, due to the PSR regulations stipulating no realistic alternative provider. The service provider selected is Complete Fertility Limited.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities for enterprises in the healthcare sector, particularly those focusing on specialised community health services. Given the nature of the tender, providers with capabilities in delivering high-quality, patient-centred fertility investigation services stand to benefit. The emphasis on partnership with local Commissioners to drive service excellence ensures that providers engaged in innovation and patient feedback integration can leverage this opportunity effectively. SMEs, like the awarded supplier Complete Fertility Limited, which is classified as a small or medium enterprise, are especially well-positioned to thrive within this regulatory framework, benefiting from the lack of competitive calls due to specific procurement regulations. The contract reflects a framework that encourages sustainable healthcare provision, aligning with NICE care pathways and local commissioning requirements.
