Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board is engaging in a procurement process titled "Provision of Mental Health Crisis Beds in Wirral", falling under the health services category. This process involves the utilisation of a Provider Selection Regime as per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract, valued at £350,463.31 annually, has been awarded to Cambrian Supported Living Limited and will span from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. The procurement method employed here is 'limited', which involves a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition. The buying organisation is headquartered in Warrington, UK.

This opportunity is particularly suitable for health service providers specialising in mental health facilities, particularly those familiar with the Wirral area. The awarded contract presents a significant chance for providers to expand their operations and showcase their capability in managing crisis beds effectively, given its focus on integrating services and improving access to health care while addressing inequalities. Smaller enterprises, especially those already operating in community health services, can leverage this contract to further establish their presence in the healthcare market. Given the emphasis on quality, innovation, value, and social factors, organisations that align with these values stand to benefit significantly.
