## Summary

The procurement process concerns Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust awarding a contract for the provision of Stroke Early Supported Discharge Service - Speech and Language Therapy services in Merseyside. The industry category is health and social work services. This contracting process is in the award stage and commenced on 1st April 2025 for a period of 12 months, with Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust as the supplier. The procurement was conducted through a limited method, utilising a direct award process due to the lack of realistic alternatives to the current provider, aligning with the Provider Selection Regime Regulations. The estimated contract value is approximately £50,138, with the contract operating in the UKD7 region.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those offering speech and language therapy. However, due to the nature of the direct award based on existing provider considerations, businesses might anticipate fewer opportunities unless they can demonstrate unique capabilities or innovative approaches in similar service areas. Large-scale enterprises capable of competitive pricing and high-quality service provision in the health sector, particularly those with a footprint in comparable regions, would be well-suited to engage with similar tenders in the future.
