## Summary

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board, responsible for procuring health services, has updated the tender process for Hospice, Palliative, and End of Life Services in Liverpool, under the CPV classification 85100000. This tender falls within the services procurement category, specifically awarding a direct contract to an existing hospice provider due to the absence of alternative providers. The procurement process, marked by a Provider Selection Regime under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, does not adhere to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract commenced on 1st April 2026 and will last until 31st March 2027, with an estimated contract value of £350,637. The chosen procurement method was limited, with no prior calls for competition due to the unique nature of the services provided, ensuring continuity of specialist palliative care services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for established providers in the health services sector, specifically those specialising in hospice and palliative care. Given the contract was awarded through a direct award procedure without prior publication, firms with existing agreements or established presence in the region are well-suited to compete. The award to Marie Curie Hospice Liverpool underscores the importance of having a local presence and the capability to deliver tailored end-of-life care services. Potential business growth opportunities lie in maintaining strong collaborative relationships with Health Boards and demonstrating the capacity to meet the rigorous quality benchmarks set by the local Integrated Care Board.

## Notice

Hospices provide specialist end-of-life care for patients in our region. All Hospices hold a current agreement with the ICB and as they own their own estates and facilities, no other provider could be considered for hospice end of life care. Therefore, Direct Award A is considered appropriate
