I have seen similar poor installed wiring.

What is the best way around this?

Can a flexible sheath be used?

How would the ends be terminated around the existing wires?

Needs to be in containment.

Yes.

But by what, can you suggest a product?

In all honestly I'm reluctant to make a definitive statement on that as it's really not my area. I call the electrician I work with! All I know is that you really need cables that are insulated and sheathed then made off correctly into stuffing glands either into a CU or junction box etc. or appliance and that's it's really good practice to run visible and exposed cable, even if it's insulated and sheathed, in trunking (unless it's something like HO7 or armoured and then it can take care of itself, but these also need to be properly made off into wherever they're coming from or going to). And also that you always use grommets into back boxes etc.

Here is a bit of any answer for you which mentions single insulated with a separate flexible sheath:

It should enter into a junction box, fixed to the back of the cabinet. 
 

From there it can be either trunking or conduit, trunking prob easiest here. 
 

Basically you shouldn’t be able to see the brown or blue cables at all as they’re not PVC/PVC.
