Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has completed a procurement process under the Provider Selection Regime, awarding a contract for "Hospice, Palliative, End of Life Services in Liverpool" to Marie Curie Hospice. This procurement falls within the health services category and was conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, as it falls outside the typical scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract, valued at approximately £2,433,764, commenced on 1st April 2024 and concluded on 31st March 2025. The procurement was approved by the Finance, Investment, and Resources Committee in March 2024 and was designed to ensure continued specialist end-of-life care within the Liverpool area, where no realistic alternative providers were available due to the unique nature of hospice services.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive palliative care. Though the contract has been awarded as a direct award, organisations with expertise in healthcare service delivery could find similar future tenders align with their capabilities, providing avenues for entering a competitive marketplace. Businesses with a strong focus on social, psychological, and spiritual support for end-of-life care, coupled with existing infrastructure, may find this sector ripe for growth and partnership opportunities, particularly in regions requiring specialised health services.
