Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board is proceeding with a procurement for a High Dependency Nursing Home service in Liverpool, specifically addressing the needs of older individuals diagnosed with dementia who require complex care. The procurement is under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), bypassing the usual EU procurement directives, and the awarding of this contract has been announced as an intention. The standstill period commenced on 18th March 2026, allowing providers to submit representations within 8 working days. Expected contract commencement is 1st April 2026, running until 31st March 2027, with a total contract value of £2,697,628. The location for the service is Paisley Court Nursing Home in Liverpool, within the UKD72 region, classified under health services.

This tender provides a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in elderly care and dementia services to expand their operations. A direct award is anticipated to incumbent provider Community Health Services Ltd, highlighting that only one bid satisfied the award criteria which emphasised integration, collaboration, service sustainability, social value, and quality innovation. Businesses with expertise in providing specialised interventions for complex dementia-related needs and those capable of fostering interorganisational collaboration are positioned well to capitalise on similar future opportunities under the Provider Selection Regime.

Notice Title

High Dependency Nursing Home in Liverpool

Notice Description

This service is primarily aimed at meeting the needs of older people aged 65+ (but not limited to) with a diagnosis of dementia; defined as "a clinical syndrome characterised by a widespread loss of mental function including memory loss, language impairment, disorientation, change in personality, self-neglect and behaviour which is out of character." Individuals placed at Paisley Court's residents are often at a point in their dementia when they have very complex needs and often these are about changes in their behaviour. These may have led to them being unable to be supported in a standard EMI placement and require specialist interventions provided by Paisley Court. The NHS Standard Contract commissions 41 beds from the 60 beds available at the nursing home for individuals meeting the complex criteria for placement at Paisley Court.
