Summary of the contracting process

Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust procured QNCC resources and a three-year membership of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. The requirement is a professional membership service, classified as membership organisation services (CPV 98100000), supporting the Trust’s participation in the QNCC. Delivery is stated at United Kingdom level, for the Trust based in Liverpool. The supplier selected was the Royal College of Psychiatrists, a large voluntary, community or social enterprise organisation based in London. This opportunity is therefore relevant to professional bodies, membership organisations and other providers able to supply structured membership access and associated QNCC resources to an NHS organisation. It is not a goods supply or construction requirement, and the available description points to an organisational membership arrangement rather than clinical treatment or general consultancy.

The procurement is complete and the award is active. It used a below-threshold procedure described as ‘below threshold – unknown’, with one completed lot. The Royal College of Psychiatrists was selected for the membership service. The contract was signed on 7 July 2026. Its recorded contract period runs from 13 July 2026 to 13 July 2026, while the requirement description refers to three years’ membership from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The awarded contract value is £10,045 net, or £12,054 gross, in GBP. The evaluation basis and any eligibility requirements are not stated in the available procurement details. The buyer is Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, and the contract is recorded as active.

This award demonstrates demand from Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust for specialist professional membership and QNCC resources rather than for conventional clinical or technical services. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to operate a recognised professional membership organisation, provide access to relevant resources, and support an NHS body’s participation in the associated quality or professional network. Organisational scale matters: the selected supplier is recorded as large, suggesting capacity to maintain membership services and resource access for an institutional customer. Suppliers should also be able to deliver nationally, understand public-sector customer requirements and provide a clear membership offer with dependable administration. The low-value, below-threshold route indicates a focused service purchase rather than a major multi-site programme.
