## Summary

The Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust is actively engaged in procuring outsourced gynaecology services under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations. With the contracting process formally initiated, the Trust aims to enhance its General Gynaecology services amidst high demand and backlog issues. The procurement is classified under "services" within the gynaecological hospital services industry, specifically in Liverpool, UKD72 region. The procurement method involves a Limited process, excluding the prior publication of a competition call, with intention to award initially notified on 31 October 2025 and the contract awarded on 5 March 2026 for services commencing the same day until 31 March 2026. The estimated lifetime value for the contract is £800,000.

This procurement process presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for healthcare providers capable of offering comprehensive outpatient and surgical capacities. The contract involves delivering up to 2600 outpatient appointments and 500 surgical procedures, which necessitates the provider having the capability to administer services at NHS tariffs and facilitate seamless integration with ongoing NHS operations in the region. Businesses positioned to offer innovative patient pathways and continuity of care through collaboration with local healthcare services stand a competitive chance. The selected provider, Aset Hospital Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise, illustrates the procurement's openness to diverse organisational scales, promoting inclusivity and extending the opportunity to emerging local providers equipped to bolster healthcare service delivery.
