Summary of the contracting process

The Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust has procured an Orthotic Service under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This service is aimed at improving the biomechanical podiatry wait times in Cheshire West through collaboration with Peacocks Medical Group Ltd. The procurement process was initiated without a prior call for competition and utilises a direct award procedure. The contract has now been formally awarded with a duration from 1st April 2026 to 30th September 2026, valued at £16,120. The intention to award was confirmed on 23rd April 2026, following a decision made by the Neighbourhoods Care Group on 18th March 2026. Representations by providers were required by 22nd April 2026.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in orthotic services and those with expertise in collaborative healthcare models. With Peacocks Medical Group Ltd already established as a provider within the local biomechanical pathway, businesses with similar capabilities and a proven track record in providing such services may find opportunities for partnership or subcontracting. The focus on integration, collaboration, and service sustainability will favour businesses that can demonstrate quality, social value, and the ability to improve patient outcomes and reduce health inequalities. The streamlined procurement method and clear success criteria could benefit new entrants and established providers looking to expand their service offering in the UK healthcare sector.
