Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process relates to an intention to award notice for the CYP Paediatric Phlebotomy service in Sefton, managed by NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board, a body governed by public law focusing on healthcare services. The procurement falls under the Provider Selection Regime for Health Care Services as per the 2023 regulations, with a direct award planned for incumbent provider Southport & Formby Health Ltd. This service, catering to children up to 12 years old, is vital for the community clinic services in North Sefton. The standstill period began with the publication of the notice on 18th March 2026, allowing for representations by providers until 28th March 2026, before the formal contract award on 1st April 2026, with a value of £6,000 for a 1-year term.

Business opportunities arise for companies in healthcare services, particularly those experienced in community phlebotomy and capable of enhancing access, health equality, and service sustainability. With an emphasis on quality and innovation, along with social value and effective collaboration, such businesses can expand their offerings through partnerships with public health organisations like NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board. Although this contract was awarded through a limited procurement method without a competitive tender, it underscores the demand for reliable, high-standard service providers within the healthcare sector.
