Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, based at Whiston Hospital in Prescot, United Kingdom, centres on a contract for "Support for Psychosexual services" within the health and social work services industry. The procurement falls under a limited procurement method, specifically the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice under Direct Award Process C, and is governed by the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. Although the award stage has been reached with the chosen supplier being Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the formal contract has not yet been signed. Deadline for representations by interested providers is set for 25th September 2025. The procurement is geographically located in the UKD region, with services aimed at providing psychosexual clinical supervision from April 2025 to March 2026.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses involved in or looking to enter the healthcare sector, specifically those offering psychosexual clinical supervision services. Given the direct award nature of the procurement process, businesses that can quickly demonstrate compliance with the regulations and specialised accreditation as mandated by COSRT Practice Guidelines would be well-equipped to secure similar opportunities in the future. Additionally, large healthcare providers well-versed in contract compliance without prior competition publication could find it advantageous to engage in such contract awards to expand their regional service provision capacities.
