Summary of the contracting process

The Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is progressing with the award of a contract for the provision of Sports Exercise Medicine Services, specifically focused on physiotherapy services for musculoskeletal conditions. This process, conducted under the Provider Selection Regime, was formalised with the contract being awarded on 7th July 2025.

The performance location for this service is situated within the UKD region, underscoring access to specialised healthcare in this area. Notably, the standstill period has ended following the publication of the award notice, with necessary representations required by 4th July 2025.
