Summary of the contracting process

Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has awarded a contract for an Integrated Community Care Service to provide Step Down Beds for Patients with Spinal Cord Injuries. This urgent procurement falls under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and does not follow the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract, valued at £241,150, is set for a six-month term from 2nd December 2024 to 1st June 2025. The service will cater to a minimum of five patients who have achieved medical stability following hospitalization. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, under urgent circumstances provisions.

This tender presents considerable business growth opportunities, particularly for healthcare service providers experienced in specialised patient care. With a focus on step down services for patients with spinal cord injuries, businesses with expertise in hospital support services and the infrastructure to handle urgent care needs will be well-suited to compete. The contract's limited procurement process and urgent nature may reduce competitive pressure, offering a viable entry point for capable SMEs like Athena Healthcare Ltd, which secured the contract. The locality of the service is within the UKD region, making it an advantageous option for businesses based in or around this area.
