## Summary

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is progressing through the award stage of the procurement process for the provision of intermediate care nursing beds at Pinetum Nursing Home. Located in the UKD region, this contract falls under the services category, specifically targeting residential health facilities services. The process follows a Provider Selection Regime, as outlined by the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, and skirting the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The deadline for submitting representations by alternative providers is set for 30 March 2026, spotlighting an opportunity for existing providers to maintain their service quality. The contract is expected to be awarded to Care UK Community Partnerships, subject to fulfilling set criteria during the standstill period, which commenced on 18 March 2026.

This procurement offers a significant growth opportunity for businesses involved in healthcare services, particularly those specialising in nursing and rehabilitation care. Companies that can deliver comprehensive nursing care and rehabilitation support to medically optimised patients discharged from hospital could leverage this contract to expand their operational footprint. The tender is well-suited to larger institutions capable of sustaining the flexibility of same-day transfers and continuous bed availability within the UKD region. The procurement method of limited competition through direct award indicates that providers with proven records of service excellence have a competitive edge in securing future contracts. Businesses in the healthcare sector should consider this as an opportunity to bolster their service offerings in conjunction with NHS trust collaborations.
