Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council procured medical specialist services for the Cambridgeshire Coroner. The requirement covers specialist medical input provided by individual existing practitioners, with each provider holding a separate contract for the service they delivered. The work is associated with the Cambridgeshire area, including locations covered by the council’s delivery regions. Six named practitioners were selected: Dr T Shaw, Dr S Vijayaraghavan, Dr M Patel, Prof K Gomez, Dr T Minett and Dr T Williams. This is a specialist professional-services requirement rather than a general healthcare, facilities or equipment contract. The buyer is Cambridgeshire County Council, based in Huntingdon, and the service relates specifically to coronial work.

The procurement has been awarded through Provider Selection Regime direct award process B, using a limited procedure without a prior call for competition. The process is complete. The single lot is marked cancelled, although six active awards and six active contracts are recorded against it. The initial service period ran from 27 July 2026 to 10 August 2026, with the overall description also giving 29 July to 10 August 2026. Contracts were signed between 29 July and 10 August 2026. Recorded contract values are £3,000 for Dr S Vijayaraghavan, £720 for Dr M Patel, £3,500 for Prof K Gomez, £750 for Dr T Minett and £5,500 for Dr T Williams; no value is recorded for Dr T Shaw. Evaluation was based entirely on patient choice, with price carrying no weighting.

This award demonstrates demand for individual medical specialists supporting coronial services for Cambridgeshire County Council. The selected providers were all recorded as small or medium-sized enterprises, and were based in Belfast, Birmingham, London, Cambridge and Cheshire, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by specialist practitioners working across different locations. A credible future competitor would need relevant specialist medical expertise, the ability to provide services to a coroner, and capacity to deliver short, defined assignments under an individual-provider arrangement. Patient choice was the decisive evaluation consideration, so suppliers should be able to support appropriate patient-led or practitioner-led continuity and demonstrate why their specialist service is suitable for the required coronial work.
