Summary of the contracting process

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board is spearheading a procurement initiative for "Carer Support Services in Halton," focusing on health services aimed at enhancing the quality of life for carers. This implies a structured approach to delivering universal and targeted services to both young carers and young adult carers in Halton. The procurement stage is at the award phase, having been confirmed and formalised under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), bypassing the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract is valued at £341,866 annually, commencing on 1st April 2025 and concluding on 31st March 2026, with no options for extensions. Located in Halton, the initiative is expected to provide substantial support to carers registered with GP practices in the region, aiming to improve access and reduce health inequalities.

This tender offers growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with experience or capabilities in providing comprehensive carer support. Suitable contenders for this contract include organisations that embody values such as social value, integration, collaboration, service sustainability, quality and innovation—all weighed equally at 20% during the decision-making process. The procurement method used was a limited, direct award process, suggesting an emphasis on continued service quality from the incumbent provider, Halton Carers Centre. Businesses that can demonstrate expertise in enhancing service delivery, reducing health inequalities, and fostering sustainable health service practices stand a high chance of benefitting from similar opportunities.
