Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board is undertaking a procurement process to deliver a community support service for the BAME communities in the Wirral area. This procurement falls under the Health services category and is governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract, which has an expected value of £39,154.50, was awarded directly to the incumbent provider, Wirral Multicultural Organisation. It commenced on 16th May 2025 and will conclude on 31st March 2026. The awarding process used here was a Direct Award C without prior publication of a call for competition, reflecting the limited procurement method for this project. The service aims to enhance social value, improve access, reduce health inequalities, and foster integration and collaboration within local communities.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses involved in health services, particularly those with experience in social and community support for minority groups. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), like Wirral Multicultural Organisation, are well suited to benefit from such projects, offering bespoke services that cater to community-specific needs. By engaging with local community organisations and leveraging existing relationships, businesses can contribute to social sustainability and economic growth while enhancing their service portfolios in targeted community health initiatives.
