Priory Healthcare Limited are the existing main Provider of Tier 4 Child and Adolescent Low Secure Inpatient service with the facilities to NG tube feed for young people (13+) in Cheshire and Merseyside. They are CQC registered and meet the requirements of the NHS England Specialised Tier 4 Child and Adolescent Low Secure Inpatient (170024/S - Tier 4 CAMHs Low Secure Inpatient Service (LSU)) service specification.

Approximate Lifetime Value of the Contract: PS650,000 The Service is intended to be provided from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027.
