Summary of the contracting process

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for a Community Dermatology Service in Halton as part of the Provider Selection Regime under the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. The service, classified under health services, seeks to provide primary care dermatology services to patients registered with a Halton GP. The contract was confirmed on 17th March 2026, following a decision initially approved in January 2026, with the service set to commence on 1st April 2026 and expire on 31st March 2027. The procurement method was limited, with a direct award process applied, and valued at £129,285 annually.

This contract presents growth opportunities for businesses operating in the health services industry, specifically those experienced in delivering community health services. Providers with a focus on improving access, reducing health inequalities, and fostering quality innovation stand well-placed to compete. The criteria emphasised include social value, integration and collaboration, and service sustainability, creating potential for collaboration and service improvement. GP Health Connect, a small to medium enterprise based in Runcorn, actively participated as the supplier, suggesting that similarly scaled enterprises with a strong service provision record could find favourable prospects in comparable tenders.
