Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council undertook a procurement process for "Cambridgeshire Coroners – Direct Award B awards" under the main procurement category of medical specialist services. The procurement followed a limited method, specifically a direct award process B under the Provider Selection Regime, which is not subject to the Public Contract Regulations 2015. The procurement took place in the UK regions UKH11 and UKH12, with contract services delivered between the initial contract award period of 27 September 2025 and 9 October 2025. The procurement stage has moved to completion, with several contracts awarded to different service providers, confirming active contract statuses as of the latest update on 9 October 2025.

This tender presents opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in medical specialist services by securing contracts through a direct selection process. The use of a direct award method means the tender was not open to a competitive bidding process, simplifying the selection for providers already in the network. SMEs like those of Professor Pat Price, Dr P Clifford, Prof A Fletcher, Dr A Rashid, and Dr S Vijay, all of whom were awarded contracts, demonstrate the tender's suitability for niche medical service providers looking to establish or expand their contracts with regional authorities like Cambridgeshire County Council. This process supports business growth by ensuring an assured client base and streamlined contract procurement.
