Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust as the contracting authority, which awarded a contract for the provision of MSK Rheumatologist services. This contract was awarded to Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, based at Whiston Hospital, Prescot, Merseyside, under a limited procurement method without prior publication. The contract commenced on 1 April 2025 and is valued at £36,000 for a duration of 12 months.

This procurement falls under the 'services' category in the health and social work services industry and was awarded at the 'award' stage, with no alternative providers identified. The procurement was conducted following the Provider Selection Regime Regulations due to the absence of realistic competitive options. This tender presents significant opportunities for healthcare service providers specialising in MSK rheumatology.

Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, a public body governed by law, is the exclusive buyer, suggesting opportunities for subsequent contracts by demonstrating excellence in service provision. Large-scale healthcare organisations may be particularly well-suited to fulfil such contracts due to existing resources and capacity to integrate services efficiently within the NHS framework.
