Palliative Care

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for "Palliative Care" services under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This award process, completed on 18 August 2025, involved the direct award method without prior publication and was not bound by the Public Contract Regulations 2015. The procurement category focuses on health services, specifically delivering Night Nursing and Rapid Response Services in the UKF3 region.

The key decision-makers included the Director of Primary Care, Communities, and Social Value. A single bid was received, and Marie Curie, a large-scale supplier, has been awarded the contract valued at £906,075. This award process offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with expertise in rapid response and nursing services.

Companies already operating within the health services sector, or those looking to expand their operations in the Lincolnshire region, could find potential future opportunities by aligning with the Provider Selection Regime framework. Such businesses should have a keen focus on quality, innovation, integration, collaboration, and service sustainability to match the criteria valued by NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board.
