Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board (NCL ICB) is in the process of intending to award a significant contract related to geriatric services, specifically Health and Social care for patients with progressive life-limiting illness, under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023. This initiative falls outside the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, marking the commencement of a standstill period. Interested parties must submit their representations by 26 February 2026. The current service provider is Marie Curie, based in London, which is poised to handle this contract without an option to extend beyond the one-year term starting from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, valued at £1,225,800. The procurement method involves a direct award due to the limited nature of the procedure.

This tender presents notable opportunities for organisations specialising in healthcare services, particularly those focusing on geriatric and end-of-life care. Companies akin to Marie Curie, with a proven track record in delivering quality healthcare and innovation, service sustainability, and integration, are well-suited to compete for such contracts. The procurement criteria emphasise social value, access improvement, and health inequality reduction, providing a lucrative avenue for large-scale providers to leverage their capabilities and expand services within the UK region, fostering business growth in the healthcare sector.
