Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board, situated in Warrington, United Kingdom, has successfully awarded the contract for End of Life Care Services within Halton and West Cheshire. Falling under the category of health services, this initiative is governed by the Provider Selection Regime Regulations of 2023 and not the Public Contracts Regulations of 2015. The procurement process utilised a limited method, bypassing a public call for competition due to the absence of feasible alternative providers. The contract, valued at £1,630,081, starts on 1st April 2026 and concludes on 31st March 2027, involving services such as inpatient care and bereavement support. Notably, the decision to award was reviewed and approved on 18th November 2025.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for healthcare providers specialising in hospice and palliative care to make a substantial impact in the local community. The contract caters to patients registered with GPs in Halton and West Cheshire, indicating a focused geographic outreach. Large-scale healthcare providers, such as Halton Haven Hospice, with the capability to deliver diverse clinical services and support, would find this contract rewarding. It allows providers to expand their services and strengthen their position within the health services domain by aligning with public sector standards and obligations. The absence of competitive bidding underscores the strategic advantage for businesses that can effectively qualify under such regulations.
