The grant funded Cheshire and Merseyside In-patient Detox Consortium: new competitive procurement exercise

From: Adults Social Care and Public Health Committee - Tuesday, 10th June 2025 6.00 p.m. - June 10, 2025

This has been a very successful project with a national profile, however following the introduction of the NHS Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and a subsequent evaluation of the existing commissioning arrangements by Wirral Council Procurement and Legal colleagues, it is now recommended that a competitive procurement exercise to establish a new framework be completed to move Inpatient Detox (IPD) service providers onto a more robust commissioning regime. IPD services are commissioned by Wirral on behalf of the 9 Cheshire and Merseyside boroughs.
