Urgent Care GP Services within the Integrated Urgent Treatment Centre in Wirral

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has secured a contract to provide Urgent Care GP Services within the Integrated Urgent Treatment Centre in Wirral. This procurement falls under the services category with the CPV classification for health services. The contract, awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 using a direct award process, will commence on 1st July 2025 and expire on 31st March 2026, with an annual contract value of £446,619.

This process was part of a tender update, indicating the Buyer has bypassed the standard Public Contracts Regulations 2015, opting for a limited procurement method without prior publication due to its classification outside the directive's scope. This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those already established within the health services industry, to grow their presence in the Wirral region. Given the nature of the procurement process, businesses specialising as incumbent providers have the advantage, as seen with One Wirral CIC, a local supplier actively involved in delivering such services.

The opportunity for business growth is pronounced in areas demanding health service integration, accessibility, and innovation. Enterprises committed to improving health inequalities and ensuring service sustainability in the community would effectively position themselves for future contracts and collaborations.
