Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for specialist palliative and end-of-life care services at Noah's Ark Children's Hospice for children and young people is spearheaded by the NHS North West London Integrated Care Board, located in London. This process falls under the health services industry category, specifically focusing on services, and is regulated by the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) under the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. The contract for providing these essential services, valued at £240,000, has been awarded via a limited procurement method that did not involve prior publication of a call for competition. The award, structured as a direct award due to the absence of realistic alternative providers, was officially signed on 22nd April 2025, with the service commencing on 1st April 2025 and concluding on 31st March 2026.

This procurement offers a unique opportunity for specialised service providers in the healthcare sector, particularly those with expertise in palliative and end-of-life care for children and young people. However, given the specific requirements and the utilisation of the PSR Direct Award Process, the opportunity primarily aligns with organisations like Noah's Ark Children's Hospice, which is the awarded supplier. Businesses with a strategic focus on healthcare support services and the ability to deliver time-sensitive and essential healthcare solutions may find similar opportunities for growth by aligning their services with NHS frameworks and necessities.
