Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council has commissioned specialist medical services for Cambridgeshire coroners. The requirement supports coronial work and is provided by individual practitioners and a specialist company, with each provider holding a separate contract for the service delivered to the Coroner. The providers are Jane Weston, Mr J Lewis, Mr J Burgess and Surgical Jurisprudence Ltd. The work is delivered for the Cambridgeshire coroners service, covering Cambridgeshire locations. This is a public-sector healthcare and medico-legal requirement rather than general clinical provision: relevant businesses are those able to provide specialist medical expertise for coronial cases, including suitably experienced individual practitioners and specialist organisations.

The procurement has been awarded and the contracts are active. Cambridgeshire County Council used Provider Selection Regime direct award process B, a limited procedure without a prior call for competition. The initial contract period runs from 7 September to 17 September 2026. Contracts were signed on 7 September 2026 with Jane Weston for £150, Mr J Lewis for £3,000 and Mr J Burgess for £4,000; Surgical Jurisprudence Ltd’s contract was signed on 17 September 2026 for £5,000. Four providers were selected. Evaluation was based entirely on patient choice, weighted at 100%; price carried a weighting of 0%. The procurement record shows one lot, although that lot is marked cancelled while the four related awards remain active.

For a supplier that did not receive an award, this procurement demonstrates that Cambridgeshire County Council uses multiple providers for coronial specialist medical services, with separate contracts for individual services. The selected supplier profile includes three SMEs operating as individual practitioners and one specialist medico-legal company, indicating that the requirement can suit both experienced professionals and focused specialist businesses rather than only large healthcare providers. A credible competitor would need specialist medical capability relevant to coroners’ work, practical experience of delivering the required service, and the capacity to provide it across Cambridgeshire. Because patient choice was the sole stated evaluation basis, suppliers should be able to demonstrate a strong patient-focused service and explain how their clinical expertise supports coronial cases.
