## Summary

The Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is progressing with the award of a contract for the provision of Sports Exercise Medicine Services, specifically focused on physiotherapy services for musculoskeletal conditions. This process, conducted under the Provider Selection Regime, was formalised with the contract being awarded on 7th July 2025. The procurement was executed using Direct Award Process C, and is outside the remit of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The performance location for this service is situated within the UKD region, underscoring access to specialised healthcare in this area. Notably, the standstill period has ended following the publication of the award notice, with necessary representations required by 4th July 2025.

This contract opens significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those equipped to deliver musculoskeletal physiotherapy and related medical services. Companies with expertise in complex patient care and multi-disciplinary healthcare engagements stand to benefit significantly, as the role involves supporting assessments, delivering treatments, and contributing to service governance. The procurement, valued at £483,750, was completed through a limited method without prior competitive call, presenting unique opportunities for businesses familiar with direct award processes, particularly small to medium enterprises like Mersey Sports Medicine Ltd, which was awarded the contract. Interested parties should note the distinct regulatory environment under the Healthcare Services (PSR) Regulations 2023, offering tailor-made procurement processes for niche health services.
