## Summary

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has recently completed a direct award procurement process for the delivery of Continuing Health Services in Cheshire & Merseyside under the Provider Selection Regime as per the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. The services fall within the industry category of health services (CPV: 85100000) and cover essential healthcare provisions like continuing healthcare and complex care packages. The Direct Award B to Elite Care Professionals Limited will run from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025 across various locations in Cheshire and Merseyside, with an expiry value noted to be nil, pending individual agreements on costs. The decision was ratified by the Cheshire & Merseyside ICB Finance, Investment and Resource Committee on 12th March 2024, ensuring compliance with conflict of interest policies.

This procurement offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in continuing healthcare, palliative care, and mental health care. Companies adept at providing patient-centred care packages that align with NHS and statutory frameworks will be well-positioned to meet the demand. Although the value of the contract itself is nominal, it enables providers to negotiate individual agreements that may lead to long-term partnerships within the local health community. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) like Elite Care Professionals Limited, experienced in delivering tailored healthcare services, are particularly poised to benefit from such collaborative procurement opportunities.
