PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process pertains to the award of a contract by NHS Highland for the "Marie Curie Cancer Care, Managed Care Service A&B." The contract focuses on hospice care services under the health category and is situated in Inverness, Scotland (Region UKM6). Awarded on 21st January 2026, it belonged to the award stage of the procurement cycle, where limited procurement methods were employed. The procurement did not require a prior publication of a call for competition as it fell below the regulated threshold. The contract was signed on 1st April 2025, highlighting a streamlined approach due to the technical necessity of engaging a particular supplier—in this case, Marie Curie.

This tender provides a noteworthy business opportunity for organisations involved in health and social care services, particularly those specialising in end-of-life and palliative care. Companies with expertise in these fields may find the sector dynamics and the chance to collaborate with established organisations like NHS Highland compelling, despite the procurement process favouring direct award due to technical reasons. Larger health service providers capable of delivering comprehensive care solutions would be well-suited for such tenders in the future, offering potential growth through contract involvement with public health services in the UK.
