Summary of the contracting process

This award, made under the Direct Award Process A as per the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime regulations 2023, highlights a specific procurement mechanism that does not invoke Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract is valued at £115,818, commencing on 1st April 2026 and concluding on 31st March 2030, with a possible extension of three years subject to performance. Services will be delivered in Sefton, UK, addressing health services classified under the CPV code 85100000.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses with expertise in health services, particularly those involved in sexual health and screening programmes.

Brook Young People, identified as the sole supplier due to no realistic alternative provider, exemplifies the kind of business suitable for competition in such specialised health service contracts. This procurement strategy, facilitated by NHS England North West, underscores opportunities for growth and service provision within the public health sector.
