Summary of the contracting process

The Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has confirmed the award of a contract for Hospice, Palliative, and End of Life Care Services in Warrington. This award, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, was approved by the Finance, Investment, Resources Committee on 18th November 2025. The contract, valued at £1,390,585 annually, began on 1st April 2026 and concludes on 31st March 2027. As a limited procurement method, the decision adhered to a conflict of interest policy and does not involve prior publication or the application of Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for providers specialised in hospice and palliative care services, particularly those located or registered with a GP in Warrington. Business operators in the health services sector with capacity for delivering such specialised care can benefit from establishing or expanding their presence in Cheshire and Merseyside. Given that St. Rocco's Hospice, a small to medium-sized enterprise, was awarded the contract via Direct Award due to the lack of realistic alternative providers, similar organisations with expertise in end-of-life care may find opportunities for growth in competing for such future health services tenders.
