This direct award was completed without prior publication of a call for competition and covers the period from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, valued at £30,898.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in supporting mental health services and integrated physical health monitoring. Since the procurement method used did not involve a competitive bidding process, similar contracts may provide opportunities for businesses capable of offering specialised medical services in collaboration with NHS trusts. Large-scale providers that can ensure seamless care delivery, integrate effectively with existing service frameworks, and offer continuous patient support and training would be well-positioned to benefit from such procurement processes. Additionally, engaging in such tenders allows businesses to reinforce their credentials within a regulated NHS environment, thereby expanding their market presence and expertise.

Notice Title

GMS provision to CWP Secure Services

Notice Description

It is nationally recognised that service users with a Mental Health condition or Learning Disability are more likely to also have physical health issues and residing in inpatient services for long periods of time can result in service user's being more likely to develop long term physical health conditions. A number of service user's within each of the units covered by the service level agreement will have been admitted from outside of the Cheshire footprint and therefore will not be registered with a local GP. This service provision allows access to ongoing physical health monitoring/ screening. General Medical Services are necessary for our secure mental health service users and we are happy with the service that Readesmoor GP practice have provided to date, we have no issues and are happy to continue with the Provider for the next year via Direct Award C
