This contracting process took place in Middlesbrough, under the UKC1 region, using a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition.

Although this process has not yet formally concluded, the contract was signed on 8th September 2025, with the service estimated to begin in November 2025.

With Marie Curie UK already named as an active supplier, organisations that can offer competitive pricing and strong service delivery outcomes could position themselves well for future opportunities in similar contracts.
