Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process described involves NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board intending to award a contract for geriatric services under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This particular endeavour focuses on providing health and social care for patients with progressive life-limiting illnesses in London (UKI region). The procurement stage is at the award stage, marked by the initiation of the standstill period following the decision of the executive management team on 11 December 2025. The deadline for provider representations is set for 26 February 2026, and the contract term is slated to begin on 1 April 2026, ending on 31 March 2027 with an annual contract value of £503,335. Notably, the procurement method employed is limited, not subjected to the usual Public Contracts Regulations 2015, and pursues a direct award approach without prior call for competition.

This tender offers significant opportunities for providers specialising in elder care or hospice services to enhance their portfolios through collaboration with the NHS. Organisations capable of delivering quality and innovative solutions in healthcare services may find this particularly appealing, given the high scoring in these domains during the evaluation process. Businesses with robust integration skills and an ability to improve access, reduce health inequalities, and facilitate patient choice are well-positioned to thrive under this contract. While the procurement process is tailored to awarding to St Joseph's Hospice, it exemplifies potential growth avenues for businesses in the healthcare sector, encouraging them to develop strategic partnerships with public bodies and carve out niche expertise areas to support the growing demand for specialised health and social care services.
