Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board focuses on awarding a contract for the provision of gastroenterology services within the UK health services industry. Specifically, this contract covers patients across the Cheshire and Merseyside ICB area, with services delivered from the EndoCare Community Diagnostic Centre in Manchester. The process utilised a Provider Selection Regime under the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, with the contract commencing on 1st April 2026 and running until 31st March 2027. The contract was awarded on 18th November 2025 following approval from the ICB Finance, Investment, Resources Committee, without any declarations of interest likely to impact the decision. This 'award' stage in the procurement featured a limited method, avoiding prior publication of a call for competition, as the award falls outside the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

The emphasis on patient choice and quality criteria presents opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with expertise in gastroenterology, to demonstrate their capabilities within this framework. Since EndoCare Diagnostics Ltd has been recognised as a suitable provider, there is a potential for other SMEs within the healthcare industry to leverage their expertise in future contracts requiring similar qualifications. This procurement, being focused on patient-choice-driven quality, prioritises providers who can deliver reliable and efficient healthcare services within competitive price points as per NHS payment scheme rates, offering growth possibilities for well-suited businesses interested in penetrating the regional healthcare market.
