Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board is progressing with the intention to award a contract for providing support to children and young people aged 5-18 in Sefton. The procurement falls under the Health Services industry category and is specifically targeting emotional health and wellbeing services. The contract has been planned to commence on 1st April 2026 and will run until 31st March 2027, with an annual value of £95,750. Though the procurement stage is currently at the award stage, the official awarding has not yet been completed, due to the standstill period mandated by the Provider Selection Regime regulations. Parties interested in making representations must contact Helen Quinn at NHS Cheshire and Merseyside within eight working days following the publication of this notice on 2nd March 2026.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for providers specialising in health services aimed at improving emotional health and wellbeing in young people. Businesses with expertise in delivering low-intensity group sessions, drop-in support, and one-on-one therapy would be well-suited to compete. Current service providers like Parenting 2000 have been identified, but new entities with innovative approaches to enhancing service quality, integration, and collaboration could also align well with the evaluation criteria which includes social value, and reducing health inequalities. The contract, following a limited procurement method, reflects a direct award procedure without a prior call for competition, thus favouring incumbents able to deliver consistent quality and service sustainability.
