UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a specialist prison peer service titled Prison Peer Lead. The requirement is categorised as medical specialist services and is intended to provide peer-led support in prison settings. The service is relevant to organisations that work with people in custody and can provide specialist health-related peer support. The named public-sector buyer is Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based in Liverpool. The selected provider is The Hepatitis C Trust, based in London. The requirement concerns service delivery rather than goods, construction or facilities management, and is focused on a defined specialist service supporting prisoners through an experienced peer-led model.

This procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active. Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was completed and awarded to The Hepatitis C Trust. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 28 August 2026 to 27 August 2027. Its value is £46,269 excluding VAT, or £55,522.80 including VAT. The procurement is classified as medical specialist services. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and an active contract; the award data does not provide a separate award date or detailed scoring criteria. The process therefore records a completed, non-competitive route rather than an open tender evaluated against competing bids.

This award shows that the Trust buys specialist prison peer support through a direct, below-threshold route, with a contract delivered by a specialist health-focused organisation. Businesses considering similar work for this buyer would need credible experience supporting people in prison settings, a peer workforce able to operate in a custodial environment, and the governance needed for specialist health-related services. Organisations with established links to hepatitis C, blood-borne virus, public health or prison support communities may be particularly well placed, provided they can demonstrate practical delivery capacity. The requirement also indicates that a supplier must be able to provide a focused service for a defined population, work within NHS expectations and deliver consistently at modest contract scale.
