Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire East Council has concluded a procurement process for the provision of an "Infection Prevention Control and Tuberculosis (TB) Service" across the borough, focusing primarily on community health services within the services category. The contract was awarded to Cheshire And Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. This procurement process, categorised under a limited method and executed without prior publication of a call for competition, falls outside the scope of the usual directive. The contract, valued at £797,979, was signed on 1st April 2025, marking the completion of the process. The procurement was governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and specifically followed a provider selection regime due to the lack of competing suppliers, as the incumbent supplier was deemed the only capable provider.

This contract represents an opportunity for businesses in the community health services industry to understand the demand for specialist health management services such as infection control and TB treatment. Companies skilled in prevention and health advisory services stand to benefit from such contracts by aligning their capabilities with public health priorities and quality standards set by regional health authorities. While this contract has been awarded under a direct award process, indicating less room for immediate competition, businesses may gain insights into the procurement methods and requirements that meet public sector needs, preparing them for participation in future tenders when competitive opportunities arise.
