Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Integrated Care Board (STW ICB) is currently in the planning stage for a potential procurement process relating to a Consultant-led Clinical Review Service for patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). This initiative is part of a market engagement exercise to gauge interest and inform the future direction of service commissioning. The process is governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The deadline for submitting Expressions of Interest (EoIs) is 16:00 hours on 23 February 2026. The proposed service is based within the Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin area, classified under the CPV code for Health services. The intended procurement method is through a Provider Selection Regime, though the final approach is yet undecided, with the procurement exercise estimated to extend over three years at a total contract value of £120,000.

This opportunity offers significant potential for businesses specialising in health services, specifically those with expertise in managing cases related to ME/CFS. Providers with the necessary qualifications and experience could potentially secure a stable contract involving the provision of consultant-led reviews for ME/CFS patients. The service requires a high degree of specialisation and may consequently suit organisations equipped with the capability to manage complex healthcare needs. Interested parties are encouraged to express their interest and complete the necessary documentation via the Atamis Health Family eCommercial System, ensuring compliance with the details of the procurement process outlined by the STW ICB.
