Consultant Led Services in the Community across Cheshire and Merseyside

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has completed the award stage of their procurement process for Consultant Led Services in the Community across Cheshire and Merseyside. The procurement, categorised under health services, was conducted under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and initiated without a prior call for competition. The awarded contract is valued at £994,643 and was signed on 19th November 2024.

Delivery of services began on 1st April 2025 and will continue until 31st March 2026. The services are provided across the regions of UKD6 and UKD7 in the United Kingdom. This procurement process presents opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare service delivery, particularly those specialising in consultancy services for diabetes and endocrinology.

Although the contract was awarded directly due to regulatory guidelines, it highlights the importance of being recognised as a capable and existing provider within this essential service area. Large-scale healthcare organisations like Vernova Healthcare Community Interest Company, who successfully secured this contract, are well-positioned to capitalise on such opportunities to expand their service offerings within the community health sector. For new enterprises looking to grow, aligning strategically with public health initiatives and local integrated care boards could prove beneficial in securing future contracts.
