Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process in question involves NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board (ICB) and pertains to the Musculoskeletal and Outpatient Physiotherapy Service in Cheshire East. The industry category is health services, with the procurement focusing on service delivery. The contract, valued at £423,423 annually, is set to commence on 1st April 2026 and conclude on 31st March 2027. As part of a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) process that bypasses the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, this notice marks the standstill period. Providers must submit representations within eight working days. The decision, approved on 26th January 2026, was free from conflicts of interest and prioritised criteria such as service sustainability, social value, and improving access.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in physiotherapy and musculoskeletal care. As the process involves a direct award to an incumbent provider, businesses already delivering high-quality service in this domain will be well-placed to benefit. The procurement method is limited, favouring providers that can demonstrate integration and collaboration to ensure sustainable healthcare services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can emphasise innovation, quality, and value stand to gain from engaging with NHS Cheshire and Merseyside ICB's vision for reducing health inequalities in Cheshire East.
