Summary of the contracting process

The Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust has announced the award of a contract for advocacy services titled "Advocacy Service - Soss Moss," under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) in compliance with the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. This process involved a direct award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in community health services. Companies experienced in patient advocacy programmes are well-placed to compete, especially those with proven capabilities in collaborative patient interaction and corporate governance supporting organisational ethics. While current contractual fulfilment by the provider suggests continuity, new entrants demonstrating unique methodologies or training assistance may also find opportunities in similar future tides of direct awards.
