Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has concluded the awarding of contracts for the "Continuing Health Service in Cheshire & Merseyside," under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This process falls outside the application scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement is classified under the Health Services industry category, aiming to deliver comprehensive healthcare services, including continuing healthcare and specialist mental health care, to meet immediate clinical needs from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement method utilized was a limited procedure, specifically a Direct Award B, enabling swift onboarding of multiple suppliers to cater to the needs of various CHC teams across the Cheshire and Merseyside regions.

This tender opens significant opportunities for business growth for healthcare providers, particularly those specializing in continuing and complex care services. It is well-suited for businesses that can deliver tailored healthcare solutions in line with national framework standards for NHS Funded Care. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly poised to benefit, as many of the suppliers involved in the contract are SMEs. Businesses that focus on quality service delivery with an understanding of patient choice are likely to thrive, given the emphasis on these factors in the award criteria. This contract allows for service provision across a wide geographical spread within the UK, promising exposure and expansion potential for the awarded suppliers.
