Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has concluded a procurement process for hospice services on the Wirral. This process, classified under health services with a CPV code of 85100000, falls within the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) rather than the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract award, approved on 19th November 2024, is via a direct award to the incumbent service provider, Wirral Hospice St. Johns, with no realistic alternative provider. It encompasses a limited procurement method without prior publication of a competition call and is set to commence on 1st April 2025, lasting until 31st March 2026, with an annual value of £2,836,966.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those capable of delivering specialised hospice care and support in the Wirral area. While the procurement method was limited, indicating fewer opportunities for bidders, similar tender notices could emerge, providing future chances for firms that can demonstrate capacity in specialised healthcare services. Participation in such tenders could establish a foothold in the regional healthcare sector, particularly for businesses with existing relationships or the potential to deliver innovative care solutions that align with NHS strategic goals.
