Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process facilitated by the NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board involved the award of a contract for the Adult Hearing Service in Wirral. This contract, focusing on health services, was conducted under a Provider Selection Regime (PSR), bypassing the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, and involved a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition. The decision was confirmed after approval by the Finance, Investment and Resources Committee on 20th May 2025, and the contract commenced on 1st April 2025, slated to expire on 31st March 2026. The project targets patients registered with a Wirral GP, located in the region UKD74.

This tender presents growth opportunities primarily for businesses experienced in delivering healthcare services, particularly those specialising in hearing assessments and rehabilitation. Mediscan Diagnostic Services Ltd, a supplier already active in the sector, was awarded the contract, marking an opportunity for similar firms to explore expansion and partnership potentials within NHS frameworks. Companies operating within the health services industry in the region can leverage such contracts to enhance their market presence and develop collaborative strategies, especially due to the tariff-based payment structure dependent on service activity. These opportunities are most suitable for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) capable of providing tailored healthcare solutions and managing patient choice qualifiers.
