The award process reflects an emphasis on quality, integration, value for money, accessibility, and social value, providing a comprehensive framework for service delivery. The Royal Trinity Hospice, a small to medium enterprise, was selected, highlighting the openness of the NHS South West London Integrated Care Board to engage with smaller businesses adept at meeting stringent healthcare standards and contributing to social value and sustainability initiatives.
