Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has completed a procurement process under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, awarding a contract for a range of health services, including Acute Secondary Care Services, Mental Health and Learning Disability Services, and End of Life Care Services across Cheshire and Merseyside. This contract, which began on 1st April 2024, runs until 31st March 2025 with an annual value of £98,682,588. The contract was awarded on a limited procurement method, specifically a direct award without prior publication, due to there being no realistic alternative providers, and it is not subject to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This contract presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses involved in healthcare service provision, particularly those specialised in acute care, mental health, community services, and diagnostic screening. Large-scale healthcare providers with established capabilities in delivering complex and diverse health services could compete effectively in such tenders in the future. The awarded contract highlights the strategic importance and potential market growth in the healthcare industry within the Cheshire and Merseyside regions, offering insights into future procurement needs and strategic partnership possibilities with regional NHS trusts like the Liverpool Women's Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
