Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves a direct award by Attain for end of life care services at St Clare Hospice, classified under health services. The contract is valid from 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2022, with a potential 12-month extension. The total value of the contract is approximately £4 million, reflecting the years of service continuity in the West Essex region. This procurement was conducted via a limited method, specifically through a negotiated procedure without prior publication, due to the absence of competition in the local hospice market and the desire to foster an Integrated Care Partnership across West Essex.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in palliative care and health services. Companies specialising in similar service areas, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), may find it advantageous to engage in future tendering processes that might arise as the Integrated Care Partnership develops. Given the limited local market, businesses that focus on collaboration with established providers, like St Clare Hospice, or those that can offer innovative solutions in integrated care would be particularly well-suited to benefit from potential growth in this sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

End of Life Care at St Clare Hospice - Direct Award

Notice Description

This is a Contract Award Notice which follows the publication of a Voluntary Ex-Ante Notice published in Find a Tender (reference 2021/S 000-005241) to provide notice of the Contracting Authority's intention to award a short-term contract to its incumbent provider, St Clare Hospice, to deliver end of life care services. St Clare Hospice provides palliative care to patients with life limiting diseases, when their disease is not responsive to curative treatment and the patient has a limited life expectancy. The service delivered by St Clare Hospice includes providing relief from pain and other distressing symptoms, integrating psychological and spiritual aspects of patient care, provides bereavement counselling if required and works in partnership with the health and care system to deliver a joined up and holistic service for our patient population. West Essex CCG have been on a journey to establish an Integrated Care Partnership (ICP) across West Essex working with its incumbent providers. This work includes the development of the Out of Hospital Model, to which end of life services are a part of. This means that the continuation of services to be delivered by St Clare Hospice directly relates to the CCGs plans to deliver its ICP. Procurement of the services at this time would likely disrupt the progression of implementation of the Out of Hospital Model. Furthermore, the hospice market within the West Essex geography is limited and therefore it is concluded that a procurement process would not be successful due to an absence of competition. The new contract period is 1st April 2021 - 31st March 2022 and will include the option to extend for a further 12 months (to 31st March 2023). The contractual value included within this Notice is reflective of the potential 2-year contract. The value of the initial 1-year contract is c. PS2m
