Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board intends to award a contract under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 for specialist palliative and end-of-life care services across Derby and Derbyshire. The procurement process follows a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, due to its classification outside the scope of the directive. This notice commences the standstill period, during which representations must be submitted by 15 July 2026. The service provision is scheduled from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The relative importance of key criteria in the selection process has been weighted equally, with no significant changes in the contracting arrangements.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in providing health services, particularly those offering palliative and end-of-life care. The direct award process benefits existing providers meeting satisfactory performance standards, ensuring continuity of high-quality care. Large-scale health service providers with the capability to manage contracts of substantial value, such as those able to work in close collaboration with local healthcare infrastructures, would be well-suited to engage with this procurement opportunity. The total estimated lifetime value of the contract is approximately £8,079,623, held by notable entities like Ashgate Hospice and Marie Curie Cancer Care, among others.
