The NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board is overseeing a procurement process for providing Assisted Conception Services, specifically in vitro fertilisation, under CPV code 85111310. This process is being managed through a direct award under the Provider Selection Regime 2023, with the NHS Midlands & Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit acting on the board's behalf. Located in Stafford, UK, the involved services are scheduled from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2026.
The procurement pertains to the health services industry and has reached the award stage as of 1st October 2025. The total value for these services is set at £684,630, with CARE Fertility Tamworth Limited as the supplier. The procurement was executed without prior publication or a call for competition, utilising a process that assesses existing contracts’ satisfaction and projected compliance.
This procurement tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those focused on fertility and reproductive health. Companies with existing expertise in in vitro fertilisation who can demonstrate compliance with the direct award criteria have the potential to establish or expand their service portfolios within the NHS framework. Such businesses can benefit from a stable contract with a defined value of £78,000 for CARE Fertility Tamworth Limited, illustrating significant scope for service delivery without the need for competitive tendering.
Through engagements like this, businesses can enhance their reputation and build stronger alliances with public health bodies.
