Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves the NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board, which intends to award a contract for the "High Intensity User Service in Halton." The focus is on health services, with the procurement falling under the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023 rather than the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Located in Halton, which is part of the UKD71 region, the contract adheres to the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) procedures via a direct award method, aimed at coordinating high-intensity user services and ensuring patients are empowered to manage their health. The contract, worth £62,322 annually, will begin on 1st April 2026 and conclude on 31st March 2027, with representations required within eight working days from the notice's publication on 27th February 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for healthcare businesses that specialise in integrating community health, mental health, and social care services. Companies that provide innovative health solutions and drive social value initiatives would find this contract beneficial for extending their services in Halton. Given the intention to award notice, businesses already familiar with PSR could find opportunity here, specifically those looking to enhance healthcare accessibility and reduce health inequalities. The incumbent supplier, Wellbeing Enterprises CIC, exemplifies the kind of organisation that thrives in such contexts, suggesting that similar businesses with a strong focus on collaboration and quality service delivery may also prosper.
