## Summary

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for Acute Secondary Care Services, Community Services, and Hospice, Palliative, and End of Life Care Services across Cheshire and Merseyside. This procurement falls under the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, specifically for health services classified under CPV code 85100000. The contract, commenced on 1st April 2026, runs until 31st March 2027, with an annual value estimated at £1,012,058,000. The services will be delivered primarily to regions including Liverpool, Sefton, and Knowsley, extending also to patients from neighbouring areas such as Greater Manchester and Lancashire and South Cumbria. The procurement method was a direct award, bypassing traditional competitive tendering processes, allowing for modifications to the contract over the service period.

This procurement offers growth opportunities particularly for large healthcare providers with expertise in comprehensive adult care services, including acute and specialist care, as well as community and end-of-life care. Businesses adept at delivering integrated health solutions in emergency and diagnostic services or managing complex healthcare pathways would be well-suited to compete. Despite the contract being awarded without a call for competition, engaging with NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board could position businesses for future modifications or opportunities related to this substantial contract. The streamlined procurement under PSR regulations paves the way for specialised services that align with public health needs in the region.
