Summary of the contracting process

NHS England - North West, located in Merseyside, has awarded a contract under the Direct Award Process A for the provision of Flu Substance Misuse Services in Halton. The procurement falls outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, aligning with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This service contract commenced on 1 August 2025 and will continue until 31 March 2027. The procurement process was executed without prior publication of a call for competition due to no realistic alternative provider being available. The contract's lifetime value is £3782.27, and the service remains with an existing provider, Change Grow Live Inspire, a large-scale provider located in Brighton, UK. The award was formalised on 11 June 2025.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialised in health and social work services, particularly those with experience in substance misuse interventions. Companies operating in the North West of England could particularly benefit from aligning their strategic objectives with the public health needs outlined by local healthcare authorities. While this specific contract has been awarded via a direct process due to unique circumstances, similar opportunities may arise through NHS England's procurement initiatives, and businesses prepared to demonstrate niche expertise and readiness to deliver specialised health services might find growth potential. As the procurement falls under limited methods, businesses should stay alert for potential future tenders in related health service areas.
