FOI 2025/1482

Several significant providers in the market across England have recently disputed the uplift NHS Coventry and Warwickshire have offered in 2025-26 (tabled below)

Naturally the ICB does not want to undermine each local ICB and therefore the CHC Contract Team would like to request this information via an FOI.

Please could you kindly indicate what NHS Greater Manchester offer was in 2025-26 to ensure ICB’s are aligned.

Considering transparency between organisations I am sharing NHS Coventry and Warwickshire position on inflationary awards below.

Please can NHS Greater Manchester ICB’s position be replicated into the table below.

NHS Greater Manchester had a maximum uplift available of 6.5% for 2025/26, however we work closely with each our 10 local authorities and where both the NHS and Local Authority commission with a provider, we would align with the Local Authority offer agreed. As a result, uplifts for 2025/26 vary across providers.

You may wish to contact the Local Authorities for more information. To assist you please find below links to their websites and how to make a Freedom of Information request.
