The contract period is from 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2024, with a possible extension to 31st March 2025. The tender period ended on 20th February 2023. This procurement provides opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs to engage in delivering fast track care services for patients with rapidly deteriorating conditions. Businesses in the health services industry, particularly those with experience in end-of-life care and urgent care provision, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Location for service delivery is specified in the East of England region, with the buyer based in Welwyn Garden City. As the procurement method was non-competitive, this contract presents an opportunity for the incumbent supplier to continue providing critical healthcare services. ## Notice This notice is to inform the market that a contract has been awarded to its incumbent supplier, Peace Hospice, to continue to deliver a Rapid Personalised Care Service (RPCS) for CHC Fast Track patients.
