Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust has completed the awarding of a contract titled "Sub-Contract for Specialised Adult Eating Disorder Services for the North West of England." The procurement falls under the services category within the health sector, classified as health services under CPV code 85100000. The contract commences on 17 November 2025 and concludes on 31 March 2027, with service delivery expected in regions including Cheshire and Wirral. This limited procurement process was conducted via direct award, following the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, outside the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 framework. The contract was awarded to Oak Tree Barnet Limited, trading as Ellern Mede Barnet, valued at an indicative amount of £2,630,880, though payments are based on a cost-per-case basis.

This subcontract provides opportunities for businesses within the specialised healthcare services sector, particularly those experienced in managing complex cases involving eating disorders and accompanying comorbidities such as severe autism. The nature of this limited procurement and direct award suggests potential avenues for businesses with recognised expertise and established relationships within the NHS network. While the contract does not guarantee specific service volumes, it can serve as a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with specialised expertise in health services to demonstrate their capability and potentially secure further collaboration in the future.
