Liverpool City Council recently completed a competitive tender process to select a new nursing care provider for Millvina nursing home in Anfield and Brushwood nursing home in Speke. The tender, initiated in February 2025, called for qualified providers to propose delivering high-quality nursing care at both facilities. The Council, as the owner of both buildings, assumed management of the homes last year, with Mersey Care providing nursing care following the previous provider’s withdrawal. However, Mersey Care expressed its intention to discontinue nursing care after May 2025, prompting the tender process.
After thoroughly evaluating all proposals, the Council has revealed its intention to award the nursing provision contract to Primary Care 24 Merseyside Ltd (PC24). In compliance with procurement regulations, there is now an 8 working day standstill period to allow bidders to review the outcome and address any concerns before the contract is formally granted. Liverpool City Council affirms its commitment to prioritizing the health, safety, and wellbeing of residents, families, and staff, ensuring no disruption to care services during the transition to the new provider.
