## Summary

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract titled "Acute Secondary Services across Cheshire and Merseyside" to the Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. This procurement falls within the health services industry category and serves the UKD72 region, specifically benefitting patients registered with Cheshire & Merseyside GPs. The contract was initiated under a limited procurement method, specifically a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) without a prior call for competition. The decision was approved by the Finance, Investment, Resources Committee on 18th November 2025, with the contract commencing on 1st April 2026 and lasting until 31st March 2027. The estimated annual value is £45,907,556.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for enterprises specialising in health services, including acute secondary care, cancer services, and diagnostic services. The direct award under the Provider Selection Regime indicates that businesses with unique, specialised capabilities, or incumbents providing essential services, may be well-positioned to compete in similar procurement processes. Firms that can offer alternative service deliveries or innovations in lung cancer screening and community services across Cheshire and Merseyside may find potential openings as preferred service providers under future such regimes. The procurement method rationale highlights the absence of alternative realistic providers, underscoring opportunities for firms to specialise in niche healthcare services.
