Assisted Conception Services
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board has completed the procurement process for Assisted Conception Services under contract CMT-1268. The services, classified under CPV code 85111310 for in vitro fertilisation, are set to be delivered from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2026. The contract, valued at £684,630, follows a Direct Award C process as outlined in the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) 2023 regulations, and was approved during the ICB Finance and Performance Committee meeting on 5th August 2025.
The procurement method used was limited, involving an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, applied in the UKG23 region. This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in fertility treatment services, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality, price-competitive in vitro fertilisation services. Large organisations like Nurture Fertility Ltd., the selected supplier, are well-suited to meet the demand of the contract's requirements while benefiting from the contract's fixed, zero-based activity framework.
With a total contract lifespan value of up to £594,000 for Nurture Fertility, businesses that can maintain consistent quality and manage costs effectively will find this an advantageous opportunity to establish themselves within the NHS framework in the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent region.
