Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council procured medical specialist services for Cambridgeshire Coroners. The requirement covered specialist medical input provided to the Coroner, with each selected provider holding an individual contract for the service they supplied. The contracting process identifies the services under CPV 85121200, Medical specialist services. Delivery is associated with the Cambridgeshire Coroners service and the council, whose address is in Huntingdon. The awarded providers are Dr D Riddington, Dr E Mullins, Dr M Robson and Dr Protty. The providers are existing suppliers, rather than new service providers appointed through an open competition. This is a specialist professional-services opportunity for doctors or medical specialists able to support coronial work and provide the required service directly to the Coroner.

The procurement is complete and was conducted as a Provider Selection Regime direct award process B, without prior publication of a call for competition. The recorded lot is marked cancelled, but four associated awards are active. Dr D Riddington was awarded £480, with the contract signed on 14 July 2026. Dr E Mullins was awarded £5,000, Dr M Robson £3,000 and Dr Protty an award with no value published; those three contracts were signed on 16 July 2026. The initial contract award period was 14 to 16 July 2026. Evaluation was based entirely on Patient Choice, weighted at 100%, with price weighted at 0%. The awards confirm individual contracts for existing providers rather than a single combined contract.

This award indicates demand from Cambridgeshire County Council for individual medical specialist services supporting its Coroners function. The successful model uses several separate providers, including small and medium-sized enterprises, rather than one large service organisation. A credible future competitor would therefore need appropriately qualified medical specialists with the professional standing and practical availability to provide coronial support directly. The evaluation gives a clear commercial signal: the council prioritised continuity and patient choice entirely, while price did not contribute to the stated assessment. Relevant suppliers should be able to demonstrate an established service, reliable delivery for the Coroner and an understanding of how specialist medical input supports coronial decisions. Individual practitioners or small specialist practices may be better aligned than generalist healthcare providers.
