## Summary

The procurement process for providing hospice services to terminally ill children and young people up to the age of 25 has been managed by NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board.

The contracting phase is complete, with the contract awarded to Bluebell Wood Hospice. The procurement falls under the industry category of health services and covers locations within the regions of UKF14, UKF15, and UKF16. Key dates include the service provision period from 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2026. The procurement method used is a limited procedure, as the Provider Selection Regime confirmed the contract award notice, utilising direct award process C.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for large hospice service providers capable of delivering high-quality care and effective cost management. With an approximate contract value of £21,714, businesses specialising in health services, particularly those catering to children and young individuals in need of hospice care, are well-suited to benefit from this contract.
