Summary of the contracting process

In a recent procurement exercise, NHS South West London Integrated Care Board (ICB) is set to award a contract for Specialist Paediatric Palliative Care (SPACE) services at Shooting Star Children's Hospice. Classified under health services with CPV code 85100000, this award is part of a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention notice, indicating compliance with the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, and excluding the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The tender falls within the 'services' industry category and operates under a limited procurement method. The contract begins on the 1st of April, 2026, and runs until the 31st of March, 2027, covering services in the UKI region. The notice, which is currently at the award stage, implies a direct award without prior call for competition, with a total contract value of £349,745.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in paediatric palliative care. While the intention is to award the contract to an established provider, it opens doors for similar service providers to engage with other potential contracts within the NHS framework. Companies experienced in delivering high-quality healthcare services to children and young adults, especially small and medium-sized enterprises like Shooting Star Children's Hospices, could benefit by positioning themselves for future procurement opportunities within this sector. Engaging in such contracts not only enhances business credibility but also contributes to a broader healthcare network committed to supporting child health services.
