Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has announced its intention to award a contract for supporting the BAME community in Wirral. This procurement process falls under the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, exempting it from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. As of 18th March 2026, the procurement stage is at the contract award notice, marking the commencement of the standstill period, and represents the intention to award the contract, where representations can be made within eight working days. The contract, valued annually at £44,946, is set to commence on 1st April 2026 and conclude on 31st March 2027. Located in the region UKD74, the initiative aims to deliver health services, with classifications focusing on improving access, reducing health inequalities, social value, and service sustainability.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses experienced in delivering health services, particularly those centred around community support and integration, with a focus on quality and innovation. Businesses capable of working within the Provider Selection Regime can benefit from engaging with NHS Cheshire and Merseyside, a body governed by public law. The contract provides an excellent opportunity for companies that have proficiency in supporting multicultural communities, facilitating business expansion through collaboration with public health authorities. Given the nature of the contract, SMEs like Wirral Multicultural Organisation, who have previously satisfied similar contracts, are particularly well-suited to compete, ensuring effective service delivery and community impact.
