Summary of the contracting process
The NHS North West London Integrated Care Board has finalised a contract for providing specialist palliative and end-of-life care services at Shooting Star Children's Hospices, aimed at supporting children and young people in West London. The award, concluded on 22 April 2025, follows a direct award process under the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, thereby exempt from Public Contracts Regulations provisions.
The contract, valued at £719,000, spans 12 months starting from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, covering essential health services (CPV code: 85100000) within the region. No conflicts of interest were found, and the procurement method was limited due to technical reasons that only allow the existing provider, Shooting Star Children's Hospice, to fulfil the contract requirements.
The project is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) able to deliver specialised medical, emotional, and practical support and demonstrate an ability to handle critical health service provisions under stringent timelines.
