Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board, alongside the Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB and Greater Manchester ICB, has awarded a contract for elective care services under the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023. This procurement process, completed without prior publication of a call for competition, falls outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The awarding decision, confirmed on 18th November 2025, aligns with the conflict of interest policy. The contract officially commenced on 1st April 2026 and will expire on 31st March 2027, offering health services primarily to patients registered with GPs in Cheshire and Merseyside, Lancashire and South Cumbria, and Greater Manchester.

For businesses in the health services sector, this tender represents significant growth opportunities, particularly for providers of elective care services. As the contract has already been awarded, upcoming similar tenders may follow this procurement model, favouring organisations with experience in managing regional healthcare services. The substantial annual contract value of over £15 million indicates a considerable investment in improving service delivery for public healthcare, which could attract suppliers with robust experience in delivering large-scale medical services. Businesses with expertise in quality patient choice criteria are particularly well-positioned to engage with similar future opportunities.
