Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has completed the procurement process for providing Acute Secondary Care, Mental Health, and Learning Disability Services for Children and Young People in regions including Liverpool, Sefton, and Knowsley. The contract, awarded without prior publication due to being outside the standard Public Contracts Regulations 2015, will run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, with an estimated value of £117,947,000. The Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust has been selected as the main supplier under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, with a designated award procedure that commenced following approval from the Finance, Investment, and Resource Committee on 19th November 2024.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses engaged in healthcare services, particularly those specialising in paediatric care, critical care, and mental health services. Suppliers with a proven track record in those areas could leverage this contract to establish or expand their presence in the healthcare industry within the North West of England. Given the contract's substantial value and scope, large-scale healthcare organisations with capabilities in delivering comprehensive medical and community paediatric services are exceptionally well-suited to benefit from this procurement, fostering potential long-term growth and partnership opportunities in collaboration with NHS entities.
