## Summary

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has concluded the procurement process for hospice, palliative, and end-of-life care services in the Wirral region, with the contract award confirmed on 18th November 2025. The contract officially commenced on 1st April 2026 and is set to expire on 31st March 2027, carrying an estimated annual value of £2,836,966. This procurement falls under the Health Services category, specifically governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and operates outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. A direct award approach was utilised without prior publication of a call for competition, highlighting the PSR's criteria of having no realistic alternative provider.

The award to Wirral Hospice St. John's presents significant business opportunities for organisations specialising in health services, especially those providing hospice and palliative care in the UK. Businesses equipped to deliver high-quality end-of-life care to patients registered with a GP in Wirral or Cheshire could benefit from similar procurement processes. Given the nature of this contract, large-scale hospice service providers with a strong compliance framework in line with the Provider Selection Regime would be ideally positioned to engage successfully in such opportunities. The focus on local delivery suggests regional providers with established services in Cheshire and Merseyside might leverage their proximity and expertise to expand their operations.
