We are informed by NHS England that the contract for 'core services' which will be let by NHS Liverpool Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) on behalf of the CCG, Liverpool City Council and NHS England has not yet been let. Following a transaction process led by NHS Improvement (NHSI), Bridgewater NHS Foundation Trust (FT) has been identified as the preferred bidder, and the submission is being assured by NHSI. When let, the existing Liverpool Community Health contract will novate to Bridgewater NHS FT. As such, and as with all other major National Health Service contracts, there is no specific end point.

The accepted bid for 2017/18 includes £4.6 million non-recurrent funding for transition and transformation, the same level as for the current year.
