## Summary

Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is overseeing a procurement process for medical support services for eating disorder inpatients, under the title "Medical Support for Eating Disorder inpatients identified by the CHEDS Team." This initiative falls into the hospital support services category and is based in Chester, United Kingdom. The procurement method utilised is a direct award process, specifically under the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, with the contract formally awarded on 26th March 2026 and service provision scheduled from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. The procurement stage is in the update tender phase, and the contract value is noted to be £68,415.

This tender presents growth opportunities particularly for large healthcare providers capable of delivering paediatric inpatient medical oversight, physical health monitoring, pathology access, dietetic support, and HCA support. Businesses entrenched in hospital support services with a focus on clinical safety, continuity of care, and compliance with national health guidelines would find this tender appealing. The Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust aims to continue collaborating with providers who can maintain established clinical pathways and relationships, ensuring seamless service delivery for vulnerable young patients admitted with severe eating disorders. This environment fosters growth for businesses adept at integrating with existing multi-disciplinary teams and complying with rigorous standards of clinical safety and patient care.

## Notice

CoCH is a local acute provider able to deliver the required combination of paediatric inpatient medical oversight, physical health monitoring, pathology access, dietetic support, and HCA support for young people admitted with severe Eating Disorder presentations identified by CHEDS. The provider already delivers this service as part of an established clinical pathway, ensuring clinical safety, continuity of care, and compliance with national requirements. The clinical risk associated with ED admissions requires immediate and consistent paediatric medical cover, rapid access to investigations, and close liaison with CHEDS, which can be safely and effectively provided by the existing acute Trust. Transitioning the service to an alternative provider could pose patient safety risks, disrupt established MDT relationships, and lead to delays or fragmentation of care. The Trust has a proven record of providing the service to the required standard, including guideline development, audit participation, and integration with CHEDS. On this basis, the contract meets the criteria for Direct Award Process C, with a clear and justifiable rationale for continuity with the incumbent provider.
