## Summary

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has initiated a procurement process for a "Community Development Service BME Mental Health in Wirral," aimed at fostering the collaboration between diverse BME communities and mental health services in the Wirral region. This procurement falls under the health services industry category, with a main procurement category of services, and employs a limited procurement method as part of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). The contract was awarded via a Direct Award to the incumbent provider, Wirral Change, with an annual contract value of £54,377, set to run from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. Key aspects of the procurement criteria include social value, access improvement, service sustainability, and quality and innovation, marking an intention to award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities for organisations specialising in community development and mental health services, specifically those with experience in working with BME communities. Given the focus on social value, quality, and service sustainability, both larger enterprises and SMEs with innovative solutions and strong service records in the health sector could be well-placed to compete. While the tender process was uniquely structured through a direct award, future similar opportunities may arise, particularly for suppliers capable of integrating value-driven community engagement initiatives with healthcare delivery.
