## Summary

The NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit (CSU) is conducting a procurement process for a Community Dermatology Service on behalf of NHS Southport & Formby CCG and NHS South Sefton CCG. This one-year contract follows the completion of an earlier three-year contract that faced delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The contract, valued at £800,000, was officially signed on 30th March 2021. The procurement method used is a limited procedure, awarding the contract without prior publication of a call for competition, within the healthcare sector under the CPV classification of dermatology services.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses interested in delivering healthcare services, particularly in dermatology.
