## Summary

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board is responsible for the procurement of Musculoskeletal and Outpatient Physiotherapy Services in Cheshire East. The contract, valued at £112,000 annually, has been awarded through a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and will commence on 1st April 2026, concluding on 31st March 2027. This procurement falls under the health services industry category and specifically focuses on delivering physiotherapy services in Eastern Cheshire. The process, conducted under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, does not adhere to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. With the contract status marked as complete, the procurement strategy involved a direct award to the incumbent provider, Aim Physiotherapy Ltd, without prior publication of a call for competition, due to it being outside the directive's scope.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth within the health services sector, particularly for large-scale physiotherapy providers capable of sustaining service integration and collaboration in Cheshire East. Given the focus on improving access, reducing health inequalities, and promoting service sustainability, businesses that prioritise quality, innovation, and social value are well-suited to compete in future opportunities arising from similar procurement processes. Although the current award has been made to Aim Physiotherapy Ltd, the PSR suggests a potential opening for competitors within the healthcare landscape as decision-makers assess provider capabilities. Businesses should monitor subsequent standstill periods and future tender updates to lever their position in this market.
