## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership intends to award a three-year contract for the provision of planned, emergency, and end-of-life palliative respite care for children with life-limiting conditions. The procurement falls within the community health services sector and is located in the UK. The procurement process is currently at the Award stage, with the contract value amounting to £895,381.20. The award decision was made on 17th March 2022, following a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, and a minimum standstill period of 10 calendar days will apply before the contract is finalised.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in community health services and palliative care, particularly those that can deliver personalised and coordinated care packages for children and their families. Providers of respite care services, child health care specialists, and charities with relevant experience would be particularly well-suited to compete for future opportunities within this sector. Engaging in this tendering process enables firms to contribute meaningfully to essential health services while expanding their market presence in the public sector.
