Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process was initiated by the Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust for the "Insourcing of Clinical Services" in the field of gynaecological hospital services. Located in Liverpool (region UKD72), this procurement pertains to the services industry category. The procurement method was limited, involving a direct award based on a framework agreement, thus bypassing competitive tendering. The contract was awarded to Consultant Connect Limited and became active on 18 November 2025, continuing until 31 March 2026 with a total contract value of GBP 200,000. The contract is currently in the Award stage.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in delivering clinical services, specifically gynaecological services. The direct award mechanism indicates an advantageous operation for those familiar with framework agreements, offering a stable revenue stream over the contract period. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like Consultant Connect Limited, which was awarded the contract, are ideally positioned to benefit from such non-competitive procurement processes. Companies with capabilities to engage in specialised healthcare services and experience in NHS collaborations are well-suited to compete in similar future contracts.
