Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust is seeking to procure services for children's assessments and ADOS assessments within the Bedfordshire and Luton area. The procurement, classified under paediatric services, is currently in the award stage. The commencement date for the contract is set for 3rd February 2026, with an end date of 30th June 2026, covering a duration of just under four months. There is potential for two 12-month extensions, allowing for a maximum contract duration of 28 months. This tender falls under the services category and provides an opportunity for the delivery of specialised assessments, with Pertemps Medical LTD already identified as an active supplier for this contract. This procurement was conducted via a direct award under PSR Route C, bypassing the need for a prior call for competition.

Businesses specialising in paediatric healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in conducting medical assessments, will find this tender an advantageous opportunity for expansion. The contract's potential for extension offers substantial business continuity prospects. Additionally, since the procurement method involves a direct award, companies with strong, direct relationships, or past performance history with NHS trusts like Cambridgeshire Community Services, stand a better chance of securing such contracts. Expansion into regions like Bedfordshire and Luton provides wider regional presence and market penetration for suitable suppliers, complementing their business growth strategies.
