## Summary

The procurement process for Paediatric Dental Anaesthesia services was undertaken by the Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, which is categorized under health and social work services within the services industry. The contract has been awarded to the Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, located at Whiston Hospital, Prescot, Merseyside. This tender falls under the procurement stage 'Award,' and a contract was signed on 1st April 2025 with a duration of 12 months. This contract was a direct award under the Provider Selection Regime Regulations, utilising a limited procurement method, with no competitive tender process due to the absence of realistic alternatives.

This award provides opportunities for businesses involved in health services, particularly those with expertise in paediatric dental anaesthesia. Although the contract was directly awarded to an existing supplier, businesses operating within this specialised healthcare area can leverage similar opportunities by becoming acknowledged experts and preferred providers with NHS trusts or similar organisations. The entry barriers within such contracts imply that large-scale operations or those already embedded within NHS frameworks are particularly well-suited to compete for direct awards or similar service contracts.
