Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board awarding a contract for urgent care GP services within the Urgent Treatment Centre in Wirral. This contract, valued at £446,619, covers the period from 1st April 2026 to 31st December 2026. Classified under health services, this is a direct award contract under the Provider Selection Regime, specifically for urgent clinical assessment and treatment services. Located in Wirral, the process did not involve prior competition, adhering to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and bypassing the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The award stage commenced with a notice published on 18th March 2026, marking the beginning of the standstill period, with representations to be made within 8 working days.

This tender offers opportunities predominantly for those experienced in healthcare service delivery, particularly urgent care and clinical assessments. The direct award method, favouring the incumbent provider, suggests that businesses with a proven track record in delivering similar health services or those already established in the Wirral region might find it advantageous. Companies like One Wirral CIC, already involved in such services, could leverage this opportunity for business stability and growth in providing essential healthcare solutions. Organisations looking to expand into healthcare services, especially those focusing on integration, collaboration, and service sustainability in local communities, may benefit from engaging in this type of contracting opportunity.
