Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has completed the procurement process for community services within the healthcare category, specifically targeting locations in Cheshire and Merseyside. The procurement utilised the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, and the contract was awarded through a direct award to the Wirral Community Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust. This contract, valued annually at £73,653,000, commenced on 1st April 2025 and is set to expire on 31st March 2026. The contracting authority, NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board, confirmed the award on 19th November 2024, and the process utilised a limited procurement method without prior publication.

The awarded contract presents opportunities for growth within healthcare service sectors, particularly for organisations adept in delivering local and accessible community services, such as district nursing and treatment room care. Although the contract was awarded to a specific provider, businesses equipped with capabilities in healthcare services, particularly those familiar with NHS processes and regional healthcare needs, may find similar future opportunities to leverage their expertise in forthcoming procurement initiatives. Suppliers specializing in healthcare service provision and equipped to operate within the regulatory framework defined by the Provider Selection Regime would be well-suited to compete in similar contracts.
