## Summary

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for the provision of Acute Secondary Care Services across Cheshire and Merseyside to the Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. This procurement falls under the Provider Selection Regime as per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and thus does not adhere to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract, valued at £454,059,000 annually, commenced on 1st April 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2026. It covers services including medical care, maternity, surgery, and emergency care, with the principal service location being Arrowe Park Hospital in Wirral.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, especially for businesses specialising in healthcare services and support functions. While there was no competitive bidding process due to the nature of the award, companies that provide ancillary services to healthcare providers or that can partner to extend service capacity might find potential collaboration opportunities. Given the emphasis on high-quality healthcare provision and large-scale operation, organisations with expertise in integrated health solutions, supply chain management, and patient care technology will find this procurement particularly relevant for strategic partnerships or future tender engagements.
