This contracting process took place in Middlesbrough, under the UKC1 region, using a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The initiative, under the Provider Selection Regime, aims to continue supporting overnight patient care at home, thereby reducing unnecessary hospital admissions. Although this process has not yet formally concluded, the contract was signed on 8th September 2025, with the service estimated to begin in November 2025. Representations by providers must be submitted by 19th September 2025. This tender provides growth opportunities for businesses in the healthcare sector that specialise in community-based services, particularly those with experience in delivering nurse-led care. Given the nature of the procurement method, businesses positioned as a Most Suitable Provider could benefit significantly from these contracts, especially if they have capabilities in avoiding hospital admissions and providing comprehensive home care. With Marie Curie UK already named as an active supplier, organisations that can offer competitive pricing and strong service delivery outcomes could position themselves well for future opportunities in similar contracts. The focus on community health services allows for innovative solutions in home-based patient care, presenting substantial business growth potential for qualified health service providers. ## Notice This project supports patients who remain in their own home, this initiative supports patients overnight (full shift in patient home) with their care needs, often providing families respite and present an unnecessary hospital admission as we can meet their care needs at home.
