Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a consultant-led dermatology service for patients using the East Cheshire Dermatology service. The work covers outpatient clinics and a fully managed service, including both healthcare delivery and administrative support. Services are intended for patients in Cheshire East. The Trust is based at Leighton Hospital in Crewe; the service delivery location is described as locations within Cheshire East. This is a healthcare service rather than a supply of equipment or a construction project. The requirement addresses the Trust’s immediate clinical needs for dermatology patients, with the provider identified through the Trust’s internal governance process.

The Trust has confirmed the award to Dermwise Limited under the Provider Selection Regime’s direct award C route, rather than a competitive procedure following a published call for competition. The award date is 7 October 2026. The stated contract period runs from 7 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, and the indicative lifetime value is £125,000. The contract is active. The procurement’s stated award criterion was price, although the provider was selected through the PSR process. The decision was made under the Trust’s conflict-of-interest policy. The process is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023; the notice states that the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply. One bid was recorded.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s future dermatology requirements, the award indicates demand for a consultant-led service that can provide outpatient clinics as a fully managed package, combining clinical care with administrative support for East Cheshire patients. A credible provider would need to demonstrate the capacity to organise and deliver the clinic service as well as its supporting administration, and to meet the Trust’s immediate clinical requirements. Dermwise Limited, recorded as an SME, was selected through the PSR direct award C route, with price identified as an award criterion. This outcome shows the type and scale of service the Trust has procured, rather than establishing that future procurements will use the same route or assessment basis. Suppliers with relevant dermatology service delivery capability and the operational capacity to manage both elements are best aligned with this requirement.
