Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Community Cardiology Service in North Sefton" has reached the award stage, with NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board acting as the buying organisation. The contract, valued annually at £824,088, has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 to deliver cardiology services within a community setting. This contract commenced on 1st October 2025 and will run until 30th September 2026, with an option to extend for an additional year. The direct award process was utilised, specifically award procedure C, meaning the contract was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition, based on a limited procurement method because it falls outside the directive's scope. The service will be provided in Southport and Formby, catering to patients registered with local GPs, under the comprehensive scope of health services, CPV code 85100000.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, especially for SMEs involved in healthcare services, such as those specialising in cardiology. The procurement process was focused on selecting a provider capable of delivering high-quality, community-based cardiology services. Businesses with capabilities in non-invasive cardiac assessment and treatment could leverage such contracts to expand service offerings and reach within the UK health sector. The emphasis on factors such as social value, access improvement, health inequalities reduction, service sustainability, and quality innovation provides a competitive edge for businesses that excel in these areas, enabling them to compete effectively in future tenders with similar requirements.
