Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by East Cheshire NHS Trust involves a service contract titled "End of life clinical support service" within the health services industry. The procurement took place in the Macclesfield area, specifically for the Macclesfield District General Hospital. This initiative falls under the service category, with the procurement stage currently at the Award phase as of 21st May 2025. The contract spans a financial agreement period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement method used was a "limited" procedure, enabling a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition due to technical reasons. The contract was signed with The End of Life Partnership on 2nd May 2025, valued at £31,557.

This tender illustrates significant growth opportunities for specialised healthcare providers, especially those focused on end-of-life care. Companies with expertise in care pathway management and patient advisory services can find manifold possibilities in similar niche service agreements. Given the specific nature of the services and the focus on technical requirements where competition is limited, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with unique capabilities would be well-suited to compete in such tailored contracts. Additionally, partnerships between healthcare trusts and local health service providers foster regional economic growth and enhance service delivery quality.
