Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process is undertaken by the North Cheshire & Mersey NHS Foundation Trust, aiming to award a contract for elective restoration and recovery services within the hospital and related services category. This initiative focuses on providing planned and unplanned care in Warrington, United Kingdom. The procurement method is limited, specifically a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition, as governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The intention to award notice marks the start of the standstill period, with representations required by 8 May 2026. The contract aims to deliver insourcing capacity in specialties such as orthopaedics (foot and ankle) until 31 March 2026, with an active contract valued at £215,000 signed on 31 March 2026.

This tender presents business growth opportunities for companies specialising in healthcare services that can fulfil the requirements of elective and restoration care, specifically in orthopaedics and pre- and post-operative clinics. As the contract falls outside the usual public procurement regulations, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like 1 Clinical Ltd are suitable contenders, considering the government directive and payment framework. Businesses with a focus on insourcing and expansion in healthcare provision for public entities could capitalise on the offered contract, especially those with expertise in specialised healthcare services within regions such as Warrington and broader UK markets.
