Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board commissioned continuing healthcare services for patients across Cheshire and Merseyside, with care delivered at individual patient placements across the UK as required. The service covers NHS continuing healthcare and funded nursing care, including complex and palliative care packages, continuing care for children and young people, specialist mental health care under Section 117, and specialist learning disability support. Care must comply with the statutory National Framework for NHS-funded care and follow the service specifications for each patient. The arrangement is for patient-specific care rather than a single standard package, with individual place agreements setting out the agreed costs. The buyer identified providers through its onboarding process to meet immediate clinical needs.

The procurement is complete and contracts have been awarded to 32 providers: Maven Healthcare (Cypress Court) LLP; MMT Healthcare Ltd; Mrs Grace Polly Sandywell; Mysa Care (Ardour) Limited; Northern Case Management Limited; Phoenix Cottages Ltd; Plas Rhosnesni Ltd; Porthaven Care Homes LLP; Premier Care Limited; Redwalls Care Services Limited; Reto Care Limited; Salutem LD Bidco IV Limited; Shaw Healthcare (Group) Limited; Special Needs Care Limited; St. Rocco's Hospice; Support to You Ltd.; The David Lewis Centre; The Hesley Group Limited; The Rossendale Trust Limited; U&I Care Limited; Valour Private Limited; Welford Healthcare MC Ltd; Wellgate Support Ltd; Woodlands NH Ltd; WT RB Opco 1 Limited; Your Way Senior Care Limited; Zeno Limited; London and Manchester Healthcare Ltd; London and Manchester Healthcare (Whittle Hall) Limited; London and Manchester Healthcare (Rudheath) Ltd; Liverbird Home Care Ltd; and Lilyrose Care Group Limited. The contracts were signed on 1 April 2025 and run to 31 March 2026. Each contract is recorded at £0.01; the procurement description characterises the overall contract as nil value, with costs agreed through individual patient placement agreements. The award followed the Provider Selection Regime’s Direct Award B route, without a prior competition. Patient choice accounted for 99% of the stated evaluation weighting and price for 0.01%.

This award shows demand for patient-specific NHS-funded care across Cheshire and Merseyside, including placements elsewhere in the UK where clinical need requires. A credible provider would need to deliver care that meets the statutory National Framework and patient-level service specifications, with the ability to support one or more of the relevant pathways: continuing healthcare, funded nursing, complex or palliative care, children’s continuing care, Section 117 mental health care, or specialist learning disability services. Providers selected included care homes, home-care organisations, specialist case-management providers, a hospice and organisations supporting people with learning disabilities, indicating that capability depends on the placement and patient need rather than one uniform service model. The assessment strongly prioritised patient choice over price, so providers would need to demonstrate a suitable care offer and ability to meet individual clinical requirements. The onboarding approach addressed immediate patient needs, making responsive placement capacity and continuity of existing care relevant.
