UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust bought Citizen UK membership services from Citizens UK Charity. The requirement is a service rather than goods or works, covering membership of a membership organisation (CPV 98100000). Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is based at Lower Lane in Liverpool. The procurement’s stated purpose was to provide the Trust with Citizen UK membership, linking the requirement to access to and participation in the organisation’s membership services. Citizens UK Charity is identified as the supplier and is an SME charity based in London. This opportunity is therefore relevant to organisations providing membership-based services nationally, particularly those able to support public-sector bodies with organisational membership arrangements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Citizens UK Charity received the award for the single completed lot. The award is active. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and runs from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £11,551 excluding VAT, or £13,861.20 including VAT. The contract is active and relates to membership organisation services delivered across the United Kingdom. Evaluation was not conducted through a competitive tender because the buyer used a below-threshold direct procurement route without competition. The selected supplier is Citizens UK Charity.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from an NHS foundation trust for organisational membership services delivered nationally. A supplier considering comparable work for this buyer would need a membership offer that can be used by a public healthcare organisation, with the governance and administrative capability to maintain the membership arrangement and provide the associated organisational benefits. Citizens UK Charity’s award also indicates that a charity or SME can be a credible provider for this type of requirement. Relevant competitors should be able to demonstrate an established membership organisation, reliable service administration, experience supporting institutional members and the capacity to serve a public-sector customer across the United Kingdom. The requirement is specific to membership services rather than general consultancy or NHS clinical delivery.
