Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has awarded multiple contracts for the provision of Continuing Health Care Services within Cheshire and Merseyside. This procurement falls under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and used a limited procurement method without a prior publication of a call for competition. The process was completed with the award of contracts on 12th March 2024, approved by the Finance, Investment and Resource Committee, and the contracts are active as of February 2025. These services cover a range of health services, including continuing healthcare, funded nursing care, complex care packages, and mental health care, to be delivered across various locations in the UK. The contract period is from 1st February to 31st March 2025, managed through individual place agreements.

This tender represents significant business opportunities, particularly for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in healthcare services. The procurement method selected - a Direct Award - favours those with the capability to meet immediate patient care needs efficiently, a critical factor given the tight onboarding window. Businesses in the healthcare sector, especially those with expertise in areas like complex care packages and specialist mental health care, would find this tender well-aligned with their service offerings. SMEs that can demonstrate capacity to deliver high-quality healthcare under tight timelines will be well-positioned to compete for such opportunities in the future.
