Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Cheshire & Mersey NHS Foundation Trust procured peripheral outreach clinics: satellite clinics in Warrington covering cardiology, nephrology, urology, surgery and rheumatology. The service is classified as hospital and related services, with an additional health services classification. The work is intended to bring specialist clinical provision to Warrington rather than requiring patients to attend the main specialist hospital. Alder Hey Children’s Hospital Trust is the appointed provider, bringing specialist children’s hospital expertise and tertiary doctors to the service. This opportunity is therefore relevant to NHS trusts, specialist hospitals and healthcare providers able to organise and deliver consultant-led outreach clinics across these clinical disciplines, particularly services for children and patients requiring tertiary-level expertise.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital Trust. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and has a value of £250,000. The service is due to run until 31 March 2028. North Cheshire & Mersey NHS Foundation Trust used a Provider Selection Regime Direct Award C procedure, described as an award without prior publication of a call for competition, rather than an open tender. The stated evaluation basis was that there was no realistic alternative provider; cost was recorded as the criterion with a value of 100. One bid was recorded. The award relates to the peripheral outreach clinic service covering cardiology, nephrology, urology, surgery and rheumatology in Warrington.

This award demonstrates demand from North Cheshire & Mersey NHS Foundation Trust for specialist children’s hospital outreach delivered through satellite clinics in Warrington. A credible future competitor would need the clinical depth to cover cardiology, nephrology, urology, surgery and rheumatology, together with access to tertiary doctors and the ability to provide coordinated services away from the main hospital site. Relevant organisations are likely to include specialist children’s hospitals, NHS trusts and established healthcare providers with consultant-led outpatient infrastructure, appropriate clinical governance and capacity to sustain several specialties within one outreach arrangement. The buyer’s stated rationale shows that specialist expertise and the absence of a realistic alternative were central to the appointment, so equivalent clinical capability and demonstrable experience would be important.
