Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process undertaken by the Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, located at Countess of Chester, Health Park in Chester, involved a direct, below-threshold procurement method without competition for a "Memory Assessment Service (Dementia Support)" contract. This contract aims to provide two memory assessment nurses to reduce waiting times for dementia diagnosis. The contract, valued at £131,965, was awarded to AGEUK Wirral and is scheduled to be executed from 29th April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement stage is complete, with key dates including the award on 1st April 2025 and the future signature milestone due on 28th April 2025. The main procurement category is services, specifically community health services, falling under the industry classification code CPV 85323000.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses experienced in community health services, specifically those that can provide skilled nursing support for memory assessment. Companies that specialise in healthcare staffing or services, particularly large organisations equipped to deliver dedicated dementia care services, could find this contract particularly lucrative. The absence of competitive bidding in the procurement process highlights potential for direct service improvement partnerships with public authorities, providing an occasion for businesses to establish long-term collaborative relationships and potentially secure similar contracts in the future. Businesses with a focus on healthcare and an understanding of public sector procurement methods will be particularly well-suited to compete in similar tenders.
