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.
