Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has concluded a procurement process under the Provider Selection Regime by awarding a contract for cancer care services across Cheshire and Merseyside. The contract is granted to The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust, with an annual value of £40,873,000, effective from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. This award notice confirms the selection of the provider without prior publication of a call for competition, following the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement process is finalised with no realistic alternative provider, as classified under CPV 85100000 - Health services, with services also available in parts of Lancashire & South Cumbria from the main Trust site in Wirral.

This tender represents a substantial business opportunity, predominantly for large-scale healthcare providers with capabilities in delivering comprehensive cancer care services. With the region's emphasis on integrated care systems, companies specialising in health services, particularly those with a presence or ability to operate across Cheshire, Merseyside, and neighbouring areas, are well-suited to engage in such contracts. The focus on direct awards in this particular instance may limit broader competitive processes but highlights the importance of established relationships and expertise in the specific service areas required.
