Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Cheshire & Merseyside Integrated Care Board is conducting the "Continuing Health Service in Cheshire & Merseyside" procurement process under the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023. The process has reached the award stage where contracts have been confirmed with suitable providers to deliver continuing healthcare services in Cheshire and Merseyside. Direct Award B procedure was employed, bypassing a traditional call for competition, emphasising the immediate clinical needs of patients. The contracts begin on 1st April 2025 and will continue until 31st March 2026, focusing on various health services categories across regions UKD6 and UKD7, specifically targeting health services that align with NHS Funded Care specifications. The procurement does not follow the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, thus enabling a tailored approach to meeting urgent health demands.

This procurement presents a substantial opportunity for large-scale health service providers to expand their operations within Cheshire and Merseyside by delivering critical services such as continuing healthcare, funded nursing care, and specialist mental health care. The process is suitable for businesses with expertise in complex care packages and the capability to cater to diverse patient care specifications. Companies like Comfort Call Limited, Merseyview Residential Home, and Apple Blossom Court Ltd are among those awarded contracts, highlighting the potential for existing providers in the industry to leverage their resources to address urgent regional healthcare needs. Businesses aiming to penetrate or enhance their footprint in the healthcare sector within these locations can consider similar bidding opportunities in future engagements with the NHS Integrated Care Boards.
