Cancer support for adults in Sefton Place

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has issued a contract modification notice under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The notice pertains to the existing contract for cancer support for adults in Sefton Place. Initially awarded under the Public Contract Regulations 2015, the contract commenced on 1st January 2024 and was set to expire on 31st December 2024.

However, a modification has been approved to extend the contract by three months, now ending on 31st March 2025. This modification aligns with other contracts in Sefton Place and adds £25,000 to the original contract value of £100,000. The procurement method was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to its alignment with the Provider Selection Regime.

This modification was approved on 17th February 2025, with no conflicts of interest reported. This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses providing health and social work services, particularly those specialising in cancer support. The extended contract period increases potential collaboration with the NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board, a body governed by public law.

Businesses like health service providers, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and specialist cancer support centres are well-suited to compete in such tenders. This modification ensures existing service continuity and paves the way for further establishment in the healthcare sector within the Sefton Place region.
