Summary of the contracting process

Knowsley Council, acting as the buying organisation, has completed a direct award procurement process for modifying the existing contract for the Falls & Fracture Prevention Service with Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust. The contracting process falls under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, allowing for a contract extension from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028. The procurement falls under the health services category and takes place in the UKD7 region, specifically in Huyton, the United Kingdom. Key dates include the future contract signature scheduled on 27 March 2026, with the modification completing the procurement stage.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities for organisations capable of delivering health services related to fall and fracture prevention. With a contract value of £2,412,000 (excluding VAT), the opportunity is particularly advantageous for established healthcare providers who can meet robust service requirements.
