Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board has completed the award stage for a contract titled "Palliative Care Support - Children's Hospice." This falls under the Health services industry category, providing urgent out-of-hours clinical support to community end-of-life/palliative care services for children in the UK. The contract, awarded under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023, began on 1 April 2024 and will last until 31 March 2025.
