Summary, notice description and lot information
The Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has completed the procurement process for hospice, palliative, and end of life care services in Cheshire and Merseyside. This contract was awarded as a direct award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without the prior publication of a call for competition, reflecting the limited availability of suitable providers. The contract was approved on 19th November 2024 and commenced on 1st April 2025, running for one year until 31st March 2026.
The value of the contract is estimated at £1,168,164 annually. It pertains to the health services industry in the Warrington area, specifically at St Rocco's Hospice, with the award already confirmed as active status. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, especially those focusing on hospice and palliative care.
With a substantial annual contract value, it provides financial growth potential for suppliers that can deliver high-quality care. The direct award highlights the scarcity of alternative realistic providers, signalling that businesses offering niche or specialised healthcare solutions within the Cheshire and Merseyside regions may find unique opportunities in similar contracts governed by the Provider Selection Regime. SMEs such as St.
Rocco's Hospice, the current service provider, exemplify the type of organisational scale that could thrive under such contracting opportunities.
NHS Cheshire and Merseyside ICB has awarded a one year contract via Direct Award A to the hospice, palliative and end of life care services provider across Cheshire and Merseyside. The contract commenced on 1st April 2025 and will expire on the 31st March 2026 with an estimated annual contract value of PS1168164. Any updates to the estimated annual contract value shown here will be included within any future contract modifications.
