Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board commissioned continuing healthcare services for individual patients across Cheshire and Merseyside, with placements potentially made in different locations according to patient need. The service covers care funded under the NHS statutory framework, including NHS continuing healthcare, funded nursing care and complex care packages such as palliative care. It also includes continuing care for children and young people, specialist mental health care under Section 117, and specialist learning disability care. The work is delivered through patient-specific care packages, rather than a single uniform service. The buyer is the Integrated Care Board, which arranges care to meet patients’ clinical needs.

The procurement is complete and contracts were awarded to The Old Rectory Limited, Valleywood Care Limited, WDR Homecare Limited, We Support Limited, Weston Park Care Limited, Woodfield Care Home Limited, Staff Management Limited, REXD Corporation Limited, Pribreak Limited, PossAbilities C.I.C, Platinum Care Cheshire Ltd and Norton Lodge Limited. The contracts were signed on 1 April 2025 and cover the period from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. Each contract is recorded at £0.01; the lot description says the contract is of nil value, with individual place agreements setting agreed costs. The buyer used Provider Selection Regime Direct Award B, without prior competition. The stated evaluation weighting was 99% patient choice and 1% price. The committee approved the award approach on 12 March 2024.

For providers considering similar work for this Integrated Care Board, the award shows demand for established, patient-focused health and social care provision across a range of clinical needs. Credible suppliers would need to deliver care packages tailored to individual patients and meet the requirements of the NHS statutory framework for funded care. Relevant service capability spans continuing healthcare, funded nursing, complex and palliative care, children’s continuing care, specialist mental health support under Section 117, and specialist learning disability services. The buyer’s stated emphasis on patient choice means providers should be able to support suitable placements around individual circumstances, alongside offering services that can be agreed and costed through individual place agreements. The award was made through the Provider Selection Regime’s Direct Award B route.
