Summary of the contracting process

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board is set to award a contract under the Provider Selection Regime for delivering a Sleep Service in Cheshire East. The contract, valued at £54,424 annually, will run from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. Classified under health services, this procurement falls within the provider selection regime and utilises a direct award procedure, thus circumventing the need for prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with the publication marking the start of the standstill period. Suppliers have eight working days from the notice date to submit any representations. Key evaluation criteria include social value, improving access and reducing health inequalities, service sustainability, and quality and innovation.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in health services, particularly those providing specialist support for neurodiverse populations. It is well-suited for organisations already familiar with NHS frameworks and those able to meet stringent quality and integration standards. With a focus on service sustainability and reducing health inequalities, businesses capable of delivering social value and innovative solutions will be competitive in the market. Incumbent providers are preferred, but businesses with fresh ideas and a collaborative approach may find growth opportunities aligning with the stated objectives of social value and service quality.
