UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority is procuring Medical Director Consultancy Services. The requirement is to provide medical specialist and medical personnel services, with the appointed consultant overseeing clinical governance across the organisation. The buying authority is based in Salisbury, and delivery is in the South West of England. This is a professional healthcare consultancy opportunity rather than a supply, construction or general administrative services contract. It is relevant to medical directors, senior clinicians and specialist healthcare consultancies able to provide organisational oversight of clinical governance. The scope is linked to the fire and rescue authority’s internal clinical governance arrangements, so suppliers should be prepared to work with a public-sector emergency services organisation and advise on the governance of clinical activity.

The process reached tender: the authority invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Tenders were required through the In-Tend Bluelight e-Tendering Portal, with submissions due by 10 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 25 September 2026 to 24 September 2029. The published procurement value is £50,000 gross, while the single lot is valued at AED 50,000 gross. Bids will be assessed on price, weighted at 70%, quality at 20%, and social value at 10%, to identify the highest-scoring bidder. Electronic submission was allowed, and the requirement was presented as one lot covering the consultancy service.

This opportunity suits suppliers with senior medical leadership capability and a strong understanding of clinical governance. Medical directors, experienced clinicians and healthcare consultancies with relevant organisational advisory experience are the natural fit. The work calls for the ability to oversee governance arrangements, provide professional medical judgement and operate credibly within a public-sector organisation. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate quality in their proposed approach, because quality accounts for part of the evaluation alongside price and social value. The service is focused and specialist, so businesses whose main work is clinical governance, medical oversight or medical consultancy are better placed than general management consultancies without healthcare expertise. It may suit an individual medical professional or a specialist consultancy able to provide the required leadership over the contract period.
