Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council commissioned medical specialist services for the Cambridgeshire coroners service. The work is provided by individual practitioners and specialist firms, with each supplier holding a separate contract for the service they provide to the Coroner. The procurement is categorised as medical specialist services (CPV 85121200). Delivery is in Cambridgeshire, across the areas of Cambridge and Peterborough. The awarded providers are Adsum Medico-legal Ltd, Sulis Imaging Ltd, Dr Thais Minett, Prof Pat Price Ltd, Oak Tree Manor Ltd, Qanun Medical Ltd, Dr Jordan Burgess Ltd and Prof B Kumar.

The process is complete and contracts have been awarded to eight providers under the Provider Selection Regime’s Direct Award Process B, without a prior competitive call for tenders. Patient choice was the sole stated evaluation criterion; price carried no weight. Each supplier has an individual contract: Adsum Medico-legal Ltd £5,000, Sulis Imaging Ltd £5,000, Dr Thais Minett £5,000, Prof Pat Price Ltd £4,999, Oak Tree Manor Ltd £4,000, Qanun Medical Ltd £4,500, Dr Jordan Burgess Ltd £2,000 and Prof B Kumar £3,000. Contracts were signed between 23 September and 7 October 2026. The initial contract award period runs from 23 September to 7 October 2026.

This award shows that the Council uses multiple individual specialist providers for coroners’ medical services, rather than appointing a single supplier for the whole requirement. The named providers include medico-legal and imaging businesses as well as individual medical specialists, indicating that relevant specialist expertise and the ability to provide a defined service directly to the Coroner are central to this work. The stated evaluation basis prioritised patient choice entirely, with no weighting for price, so suppliers seeking similar work should be able to demonstrate how their service supports appropriate patient choice. The separate contracts and relatively small individual contract values indicate a requirement suited to specialist practices and smaller suppliers as well as larger providers. The route used was a Provider Selection Regime direct award, rather than an open competition.
