Summary of the contracting process

The Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board (ICB) has awarded contracts under the Provider Selection Regime for Continuing Health Care Services. This falls outside the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and utilises a Direct Award procedure without prior competition. This process, confirmed in December 2024, aimed to swiftly onboard suitable providers to meet immediate health service needs across Cheshire and Merseyside, classified under the health services industry with CPV code 85100000. The awarded contracts include multiple suppliers and are active from their onboarding dates in December 2024, expiring on 31st March 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for healthcare providers, particularly those specialised in continuing, complex, and palliative care, as well as mental health services. The awarded contracts, though of nominal financial value, offer a platform for small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) and larger organisations to enhance reputations and foster further partnerships with the NHS system. The selective focus on quality through 'Patient Choice' as a primary award criterion suggests that businesses excelling in customer service and care delivery are well-suited to compete in such procurements.
