Care commissioning in North West
The North West has some of the most active care commissioning in England. Greater Manchester's ten authorities, led by Manchester, Bolton and Wigan, have a long history of joint working through the combined authority, so home care and supported living often go out as large lotted frameworks. Liverpool City Region and the wider Merseyside councils run their own approved lists, and Lancashire County Council and Cheshire East commission across big rural and urban patches where travel time and rural cover genuinely affect scoring.
Three integrated care boards sit over the region and shape joint and pooled commissioning, particularly for older people's services and learning disability support. A bid that wins in Greater Manchester will not automatically suit Lancashire, because the rate cards, lot structures and quality questions differ. We know these buyers and write each tender to match the way that specific council and ICB award work.

North West: common questions
Which North West councils commission care?
All of them, from the ten Greater Manchester authorities such as Manchester, Bolton and Wigan to Liverpool, Sefton, Lancashire County Council, Cheshire East and the Cumbria authorities. Each runs its own frameworks or approved provider lists.
How does Greater Manchester procurement differ from the rest of the region?
Greater Manchester's authorities often coordinate through the combined authority, so contracts can be large and lotted. Lancashire and Cumbria cover wide rural areas where realistic travel and rural cover matter to scorers. We write each bid to fit the buyer.
Do we need a North West office to bid?
No. We work remotely with providers right across the North West. The regional advantage is knowing how these specific councils and the three local ICBs score care tenders, not having an office on the high street.
