UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust, located in Liverpool, involves awarding a contract for management consultancy services specifically related to a new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) build. This project, categorised under the services industry and legally based on UKPGA 2023/54, utilised a direct procurement method without competition, as it was below the threshold. The procurement has moved through several stages and is currently in the 'complete' phase, with the contract commencing on 1st April 2026 and expected to conclude on 31st August 2026. This initiative underlines the trust's commitment to enhancing healthcare facilities, with the awarded amount set at £39,500.

The contract presents a significant growth opportunity, particularly for businesses involved in management consultancy within the healthcare sector. Large-scale enterprises with experience in delivering research and development consultancy services, as indicated by the classification under CPV code 73200000, are prime candidates for such projects. The procurement process, owing to its streamlined 'direct' nature, favours firms like Natalie Rixon Consulting Ltd, who successfully secured this contract, suggesting that established private consultancies with a robust portfolio could similarly leverage future opportunities to collaborate with public healthcare institutions. Businesses with capabilities in healthcare infrastructure development will find such tenders advantageous to expand their market footprint.
