Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Community Dermatology Service in Halton is being conducted by the NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This award procedure, subject to the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, involves a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract aims to address health service needs in Halton, classified under the health services category. The procurement is in the award stage, with an intention to designate GP Health Connect as the service provider. The contract is slated to begin on 1st April 2026 and end on 31st March 2027, valued at £129,285 annually. Representations regarding the awarding decision must be submitted to the decision makers within 8 working days from the publication date, starting the standstill period.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for entities operating in the healthcare sector, particularly those with experience in providing dermatology or community health services. The procurement favours providers demonstrating high quality through factors such as social value, improving access and reducing health inequalities, alongside service sustainability and innovation. Businesses familiar with NHS frameworks, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, are well-suited to engage with such opportunities. While the current provider, GP Health Connect, is likely to continue delivering services, new bidders with innovative solutions and a strong emphasis on healthcare quality and integrations in Cheshire and Merseyside may find similar contract opportunities in future tenders within this region.
