## Summary

The procurement process led by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) on behalf of NHS Cheshire and Merseyside aimed to develop a Work and Health Strategy for Cheshire and Merseyside. Classified under health and social work services (CPV code 85000000), this initiative was part of the public contracting efforts to secure an external partner experienced in population health and strategy development. The procurement process was conducted using an open procedure, with the tender period ending on 13th December 2024. The total value of the contract is £70,000, and the active award stage commenced on 11th February 2025. The contract period is set to run from 28th January 2025 until 27th January 2026, targeting service delivery in the North West region of the UK. The awarded supplier for this project, Social Finance, will guide the health strategy development, and the involved organisations have specific experience requirements, including expertise in stakeholder engagement with local authorities and NHS environments.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs with strengths in developing health strategies and community health projects. Businesses with experience in stakeholder engagement and the NHS will find this tender especially beneficial to leverage their expertise. Moreover, those specialising in integrated care systems and possessing a robust network within local government health services are well-positioned for success. The nature of this open procurement invites motivated firms to expand their footprint in public sector contracts, especially within the dynamic health and social care industry, fostering deeper collaborations with notable agencies such as the NHS and local councils.
