Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board is planning to award a one-year contract to establish an Age Related Macular Degeneration Service across Cheshire Places and the NHS Derby and Derbyshire ICB. This initiative falls under the health services category and engenders a strategic collaboration between Cheshire and Derbyshire healthcare providers, with the anticipated contract period being from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, valued at £3,245,579. The procurement process is under the Provider Selection Regime, not subject to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Although initially intended as a direct award, the process has been paused due to unforeseen circumstances requiring contract amendment. The key criteria influencing the award include social value, health access improvement, service sustainability, and innovation.

This tender provides businesses, particularly those specialising in health services, with an opportunity to grow by engaging with NHS Cheshire and Merseyside. Organisations with expertise in integrating healthcare systems, improving patient access, and reducing health inequalities will find this contract aligned with their capabilities and growth strategies. Established healthcare providers, like the initially proposed supplier, Eye Care Medical Limited, can benefit from ensuring readiness to meet such service demands in the future. Additionally, businesses eager to collaborate in enhancing healthcare delivery and innovation are well-positioned to consider this opportunity once tendering processes recommence.
