## Summary

The procurement process for the "EoL/Palliative Care Transport" service was conducted by Walsall Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) as a tender initiative aimed at providing safe transportation for individuals in the Walsall area, particularly for those requiring end-of-life care. The tender was officially opened on 1st April 2017, with a contract value of £25,000. The procurement falls within the health services category, specifically under the CPV classification of 85100000. The tender period concluded on 31st March 2017, following which the contract commenced and is set to run until 31st March 2018.

This opportunity is particularly suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in providing specialised transport services, including those experienced in handling sensitive healthcare transportation. Businesses engaged in similar sectors that can ensure safe and dignified transportation for vulnerable individuals may find this tender an excellent avenue for growth. The contract requires providers to be capable of managing logistical requirements, including responding promptly to requests for out-of-area transport when necessary, thereby offering a competitive edge to service-oriented companies in the health industry.

## Notice

The aim of the service is to transfer individuals safely within the Walsall area between home and care homes either for respite or for their healthcare needs to be met. For end of life individuals it could be their preferred choice of end of life care. In exceptional circumstances only and with agreement of the Commissioner, the Provider can be booked for an out of area hospital appointment if all other avenues of transport have been explored; including the individual's mobility entitlement or car and these are not available or appropriate.
