## Summary

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board intends to award a contract for the Care Home Antiviral Prophylaxis Service in Wirral Place. The procurement falls under the health and social work services industry category, focusing on antiviral treatments to prevent influenza in care home residents. The anticipated contract will commence on 1st October 2025 and conclude on 30th September 2026, with an annual value of £8,657.83. This award decision was approved on 30th July 2025 and is currently within the standstill period, allowing representations from providers until 8 working days after the publication date. The contracting process is at the award stage under a limited procurement method, bypassing the usual call for competition due to its classification under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with expertise in care home settings and antiviral treatments. Firms with a proven track record of delivering high-quality healthcare services and integrating innovative solutions to improve accessibility and health equality may find this contract particularly aligned with their capabilities. Given that the procurement process was a direct award to an incumbent provider, companies positioning themselves as future competitors should focus on demonstrating exceptional value and innovation to compete in similar future tenders. The emphasis on social value and collaboration provides additional grounds for businesses to align their service propositions with public health objectives in the region.

## Notice

The vaccination against influenza is a key public health initiative to prevent harm from the virus on vulnerable groups including those who reside in Care Homes. There is an expectation that antiviral medication is considered both to treat vulnerable residents with influenza like illness and prophylactically where an influenza outbreak has been declared by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) to Wirral patients.
