## Summary

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board (ICB) has awarded a contract to deliver an Integrated Community Stroke Service in Cheshire East.

The contract will commence on 1st April 2026 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2027, with an annual value of £548,605. This service, classified under the Health Services industry (CPV 85100000), is set in the UK South and East Cheshire region. The contract has been awarded in alignment with a Direct Award procedure, foregoing a prior call for competition due to its specific procurement regulations, and marks the completion stage of the procurement process as of March 2026.

This contract creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, especially those with expertise in community-based health interventions and stroke rehabilitation services. Companies with innovative approaches to improving health outcomes and reducing inequalities in healthcare access would find this an advantageous prospect. Although the contract has been directly awarded to the University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust, businesses can garner insights and prepare for potential future opportunities through similar Provider Selection Regime contracts, aligning their offerings to meet similar award criteria such as social value, quality, and service sustainability. Engaging with this regional health initiative provides a chance for growth and exposure in the healthcare sector within the Cheshire East area.
