## Summary

Cambridgeshire County Council procured specialist medical services for the Cambridgeshire Coroner. The requirement covered services provided by existing medical specialist service providers, with each provider holding an individual contract for the service delivered to the Coroner. Delivery locations were in Peterborough and Cambridgeshire. This is a clinical and medico-legal service requirement rather than a general healthcare or facilities contract. The relevant classification is CPV 85121200, medical specialist services. Organisations relevant to this requirement would include suitably qualified medical professionals or specialist medical service providers able to support coronial work in the stated local area and provide services directly to the Coroner.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through Provider Selection Regime direct award process B, using a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition. The lot is recorded as cancelled, but two active awards were made for it: Dr R Bhardwaj received a contract worth £2,000, signed on 13 August 2026, and Dr B Smith received a contract worth £500, signed on 20 August 2026. The initial contract award period ran from 13 August to 20 August 2026. Evaluation was based entirely on patient choice, weighted at 100%; price carried no weighting. The published rationale states that the Provider Selection Regime applied and the Public Contract Regulations 2015 did not apply.

This award shows that Cambridgeshire County Council uses the Provider Selection Regime direct award process B to appoint existing providers for Coroner-related specialist medical services. A future competitor would need to demonstrate the professional competence and clinical expertise required for specialist medical work supporting coronial functions, together with the ability to provide an established, reliable service to the Coroner across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. The outcome indicates that patient choice is decisive in assessment, while price is not a scored factor. Medical specialists and small specialist practices may be well placed, as both appointed suppliers were individual doctors classified as small and medium-sized enterprises.
