Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Clinical Services" contract was led by WM5G LIMITED, a public undertaking based in Birmingham, UK. This process was part of an urgent direct award, initiated due to a previous supplier's failure to deliver services. The contract pertains to the healthcare industry, specifically focusing on the provision of clinical services, including staffing, reading and reporting services, and necessary software to support a medical trial. The contract award, valued at £354,261, was granted to ICS OPERATIONS LIMITED, a large supplier located in London. This completion status tender commenced on 5th September 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2026, ensuring continuity of service delivery within the UK region UKG. The contract was awarded on a short-term basis, allowing WM5G to plan for future competitive tendering processes.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those offering clinical staffing and services. The suitability of this tender for SMEs and VCSEs indicates a diverse potential for varying organisational sizes to compete. The strategic short-term nature of the contract allows for immediate engagement with potential for future collaboration as WM5G prepares for a comprehensive competitive tender. Companies adept in healthcare services, especially those experienced with tight timelines and capable of service delivery in the UK, are particularly well-suited to take advantage of similar future contracts. Furthermore, the reliance on direct procurement underscores the necessity for agile suppliers who can promptly respond to urgent service demands.
