Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board awarding a contract for the delivery of Continuing Health Service in the Cheshire and Merseyside area. This falls under the industry category of health services and it is governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement method used was a limited procedure, with a direct award, without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract started on 1st April 2025 and is set to expire on 31st March 2026, with the final award confirmations made on various dates between August 1st and August 18th, 2025.

This tender opens significant opportunities for businesses specializing in healthcare services, particularly those providing continuing healthcare, funded nursing care, complex care packages, and specialist mental health and learning disability services. With a focus on delivering care in compliance with statutory frameworks, the contract values the quality of service, as evidenced by its strong emphasis on patient choice. This makes it suitable for both SMEs and larger healthcare providers looking to expand their services in the UK regions of North West England, specifically areas within Cheshire and Merseyside. Given the nil value of the contract itself, businesses will engage in individual place agreements with agreed costs, offering a tailored approach to service delivery.
