## Summary

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for an Orthotics Service covering inpatient and outpatient care in Cheshire East. The contract, valued at £425,000, spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. This procurement falls under the health services category and intends to improve access while reducing health inequalities. The procurement method used was limited, specifically a direct award outside the scope of the typical directive. Although the procurement stage is marked as complete, the recent announcement involved a standstill period until representations are concluded within 8 working days. Sally Williams serves as the contact point for any provider inquiries during this phase.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, especially for providers specialising in healthcare services that can offer orthotics solutions. Given the focus on service integration, value, and quality, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in healthcare innovation and collaborations are well-positioned to compete. TalarMade Limited, identified as the incumbent provider, has been selected for the award, showcasing the potential for established players to leverage their existing capabilities to maintain and expand services under new contracts. Businesses that can contribute to improving patient access and reducing health inequalities will find ample opportunities in engaging with such public procurement initiatives.
