Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board acted as the buying organisation in this procurement process, focused on the provision of a Community Vasectomy Service in Sefton. Categorised under health services, this contract was developed under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, distinguishing it from typical Public Contracts Regulations. Notably, the procurement process employed a limited method, awarding the contract without a prior call for competition. The tender stage is now complete, with the contract awarded to The Family Surgery, valued at £22,500, effective from 1st September 2025 until 31st March 2026. Relevant service operations will cover vasectomy-related care for patients in Sefton Place.

This tender opens up significant opportunities for businesses within the healthcare sector, particularly those with experience in service delivery under the NHS framework. Providers specialising in community health services or those looking to expand their healthcare portfolio in the North West of England may find valuable growth prospects by partnering with public bodies like the NHS. This opportunity is particularly suited to experienced small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) already operating within the healthcare industry, given the nature of the direct award procurement. Collaborating with a public law-governed entity such as the NHS offers businesses a stable client base and potential for further engagements in healthcare services procurement.
