Summary of the contracting process

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board commissioned a borough-wide children and young people’s emotional health and wellbeing service in Sefton, for patients registered with a Sefton GP. The service supports children and young people aged 5 to 18 with low to moderate needs through low-intensity group sessions, drop-in support and one-to-one therapy. It has a significant operational presence in North Sefton. This is a health service, delivered for the ICB’s Sefton Place. The selected provider is Parenting 2000, which provides the existing service. The requirement is therefore centred on accessible early intervention, emotional wellbeing support, therapy and community-based work with children, young people and their families across Sefton.

The contract was awarded under Direct Award C through the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, without a prior published competition. Parenting 2000 was selected as the incumbent provider, with one bid recorded. The award was approved on 12 January 2026 and the contract was signed on that date. It runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an annual value of £95,750. The decision was assessed against integration, collaboration and service sustainability at 40%, value at 20%, quality and innovation at 20%, social value at 10%, and improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice at 10%. The procurement records the contract as active and the award as active.

For a competing provider, this award shows that the ICB buys a defined early-intervention service for children and young people with low to moderate emotional health and wellbeing needs, rather than specialist acute treatment. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to deliver group sessions, drop-in support and one-to-one therapy at borough scale, with a strong community presence in Sefton and particular reach in North Sefton. Evidence of continuity and reliable delivery would matter, since the selected incumbent was judged capable of satisfying the requirement to a sufficient standard. Strong proposals would also need to show how they improve access, reduce health inequalities, support choice, create social value, promote innovation and integrate effectively with other local services.
