## Summary

The NHS Southport & Formby CCG and NHS South Sefton CCG have awarded a one-year contract for the Community Dermatology Service, valued at £800,000. This contract is part of a tender process initiated by the Staffordshire and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit, which aims to provide high-quality, accessible dermatological care to patients in the North West of the United Kingdom. The service delivery period spans from 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2022, following the contract’s end date of the previous service on 31st March 2021. The procurement process adhered to the Light Touch Regime outlined in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, allowing for direct award without a competitive tender according to specific regulatory stipulations.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in healthcare services to expand their operations and client base. Firms that provide dermatological care or allied health services are particularly well-suited to compete for future tenders in this area. As the NHS seeks to re-procure this service in the following financial year, businesses that can demonstrate efficiency and quality in service delivery may find valuable opportunities for collaboration and growth within the local healthcare landscape.
