## Summary

The procurement process is being led by Wirral Borough Council, and it involves the tender titled "Communicating the future of contact tracing in Cheshire and Merseyside." This initiative falls under the health and social work services category, with a total contract value of £250,000. The tender is currently in the active stage of the open procurement process, with the submission deadline set for 30th November 2021. The contract period will commence on 13th December 2021 and extends until 31st October 2022, focusing on the areas of Cheshire and Merseyside.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in health services, public health communication, and community engagement. Companies capable of developing robust strategies for health protection and outbreak management will be particularly well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, making this an excellent opportunity for innovative providers looking to expand their footprint in the public health sector.

## Notice

Cheshire and Merseyside's Directors of Public Health, working together as the Champs Public Health Collaborative, have been awarded a significant investment to improve the already existing health protection and contract tracing infrastructure, which will allow for a robust and effective ongoing approach for managing outbreaks of COVID-19 (and other diseases) in schools, businesses and in the local community. The aim of this work is to take a 'one team' approach to managing outbreaks of transmissible diseases, instead of nine local authority teams, Public Health England (now the UK Health Security Agency) and the national team operating separately within Cheshire and Merseyside. There will also be a pilot in one area of Cheshire and Merseyside to better support people to self-isolate when needed.
