Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust focuses on the awarding of a contract for Orthodontic Laboratory Services. The procurement falls within the health industry category, specifically classified under ENT or audiologist services, and targets the region UKD71 in the United Kingdom. Currently, this process is in the award stage, with an intention to award under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023. Importantly, the process employs a limited procurement method, bypassing the need for prior publication of a call for competition. The service is intended to span from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2026, with the standstill period inviting representations by 10th September 2025. The contract's annual estimated value is £57,200.

This tender provides significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in health-related services. Given the health industry focus and emphasis on quality, innovation, and collaboration, SMEs like Grosvenor Orthodontics (Chester) Ltd, who are the intended awardees, seem well-suited for participation. The contract's stable one-year period offers a predictable scope of work conducive to business continuity and expansion. Companies with a capacity to meet the quality and innovation criteria, along with those able to positively address health inequalities and offer social value, would find this contract advantageous. The limited procurement method and the specific requirements outlined ensure that businesses already aligned with the healthcare sector have an excellent opportunity to leverage this contract for strategic growth.
