Summary of the contracting process

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board commissioned GP medical cover at Oakmeadow Intermediate Care Community Support Centre in Halton. The service provides medical assessment and care for patients over 18 admitted to the centre, with a stated requirement for high-quality, patient-centred care. The work is primary medical services for Oakmeadow service users; the contract description refers to GP medical cover. The service is delivered at Oakmeadow Community Support Centre in Halton. The buyer is the integrated care board, and the selected provider is Bevan Group Practice, based in Widnes. This is a local healthcare service focused on the medical needs of adult intermediate-care patients at one community support centre, rather than a broader health service provision.

The procurement has reached the award stage: Bevan Group Practice was selected as the provider, and the contract is recorded as active and signed. The recorded signature date is 24 August 2026. The contract value is £321,971. The lot description gives a two-year term from 19 November 2026 to 18 November 2028 and an annual value of £160,986, plus any NHS uplift for 2027/28. The route was a direct award to the incumbent provider under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, without a prior competition. The lot’s stated assessment gives 99% weight to quality, based on the incumbent’s performance and expected ability to meet the proposed contract, and 1% to price. The decision notice also lists quality and innovation, value, integration and sustainability, access and health inequalities, and social value as weighted considerations.

This award shows demand for GP medical cover and patient-centred medical assessment for adults admitted to an intermediate care community support centre in Halton. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to demonstrate that it can provide dependable primary medical services in this setting and meet the needs of adult patients receiving intermediate care. The buyer’s stated assessment placed very strong emphasis on service quality and confidence in the provider’s ability to deliver, with price carrying little weight in the lot criteria. The decision also considered quality and innovation, access and health inequalities, integration and service sustainability, and social value. Relevant experience delivering comparable GP cover and evidence of service quality would therefore be important.
