End of Life & CHC Health Care funded Contracts

North Somerset Council has awarded a contract titled "End of Life & CHC Health Care funded Contracts" under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023. This procurement process falls outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Procurement Act 2023. Focused on health services, this contract aims to promote collaborative working and streamlined domiciliary care services within the UKK12 region, specifically Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset.

The tender was awarded through a limited procurement method without prior publication, reflecting the patient choice criteria. The contract was signed on 7th July 2025, with the award notice published on 4th August 2025, marking the transition to the award stage with Poppy's Homecare Limited as the supplier. This tender presents business growth opportunities for enterprises specialising in health services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide collaborative health care solutions.

Businesses with expertise in offering tailored health services and capable of adapting to patient preferences would be well-positioned to compete. The contract award prioritising patient choice underlines the significant demand for flexible, patient-oriented care providers. Given this regulated procurement environment, businesses focusing on bespoke or adaptable care packages may find advantageous entry points into government-funded health service provisions.
