Summary of the contracting process

The Cheshire & Merseyside Integrated Care Board (ICB) has completed the procurement process for a series of Continuing Health Service contracts across the Cheshire & Merseyside region. This procurement, falling outside the typical Public Contracts Regulations 2015, is governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The awarded contracts involve delivering NHS Funded Care services including continuing healthcare, funded nursing care, and specialist mental health care. Awards were confirmed on 25 April 2025 and contracts commenced on the 1st of April 2024. They will run until 31st March 2025, emphasising prompt delivery to meet immediate clinical needs. Key players include the NHS Cheshire and Merseyside ICB as the buyer, with awarded services provided by suppliers such as Home Instead Leek and Moorlands, Elite Care Professionals Limited, and Eros Home Care Services Ltd, covering locations across Wirral, Liverpool, and Sefton.

This procurement represents strategic opportunities for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those specialising in NHS Funded Care and related healthcare provisions. Companies capable of delivering quality healthcare services, such as complex care packages or specialist mental health care, would be well-positioned to benefit from these tender opportunities. Engaging in this sector allows for enhanced market visibility and expansion within the public healthcare system, providing growth potential through alignment with public-funded healthcare initiatives and policies. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) stand to gain significantly by establishing themselves as trusted providers capable of managing significant healthcare contracts under nationally recognised frameworks.
