Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Insourcing Palliative Care Service" was initiated by Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, a public body governed by public law. The contract addresses the health services sector, specifically palliative clinical support, and is to be delivered at Harefield Hospital in London. This tender follows a limited procurement method, which did not require a prior publication of a call for competition. The procedure is governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and falls outside the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Although the award process is complete, the contract has not been formally awarded yet, with the standstill period commencing immediately after the notice publication. Concerned providers must make representations by 22 June 2025.

This tender represents a promising opportunity for businesses involved in health services, particularly those providing palliative care, as it aligns with specific community health needs. The contract, valued at £71,220, was awarded to St Francis Hospice, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Romford, Essex. Companies with experience in health services and capable of offering specialised care solutions are well-positioned to benefit from such opportunities. Furthermore, organisations with the ability to navigate health service regulations and provide competitive pricing could leverage similar tenders for significant business growth and market expansion.
