## Summary

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has completed the procurement process for the provision of Non Emergency Patient Transport Services in Cheshire, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract, valued at an estimated £11,979,078 annually, was awarded directly to the incumbent provider, and it commenced on 1st April 2025, ending on 31st March 2026. This procurement, which falls within the health services category, demonstrates a focus on non-urgent patient transportation for NHS healthcare facilities, with particular emphasis on renal dialysis and oncology treatments. The direct award process was utilised, bypassing the need for a traditional competitive bidding process, as stated in the notice issued on 29th April 2025.

This procurement provides significant business growth opportunities, particularly for specialists in health service logistics and transport. Although the contract was directly awarded to an existing provider, the sector offers future possibilities for businesses that deliver innovative, high-quality patient transport solutions. Companies experienced in delivering healthcare transportation services, capable of operating under complex regulations, and excelling in service innovation and integration would be well-positioned for similar future contracts. The key evaluation criteria for this contract included social value, service integration and sustainability, and quality and innovation, suggesting future opportunities for businesses prioritising these elements.
