This exercise falls under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and is outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement is at the award stage, with the notice marking the beginning of the standstill period running until midnight on 16th May 2025. The main category for this procurement is services, specifically paediatric services, conducted through a limited procurement method without prior any publication of a call for competition. The buyer is aiming to select the most suitable provider using a process compliant with the provider selection regime policies, and the associated parties include Hadwen Medical Practice as the intended supplier.

This tender presents an exceptional opportunity for large medical practices or service providers specialising in paediatric healthcare to establish a foothold in the larger Herefordshire and Worcestershire healthcare landscape. The pilot nature of the project implies potential long-term projects subject to successful implementation and evaluation. The outlined requirements stress the importance of delivering assessments face-to-face, which may invite efficient healthcare units adept in managing clinical logistics within a specified timeframe and budget.
