## Summary

This recent procurement process, led by the NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board, focuses on awarding contracts for hospice services for babies, children, and young people (BCYP) with life-limiting conditions. Within the health services industry category, this process adheres to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement stage is at the award phase with contracts set to become active from 1 October 2026 until 31 March 2027. The service provision will occur in regions UKF14, UKF15, and UKF16, with a notable standstill period for representations ending at midnight on 4 August 2026. The procurement method used is limited and did not require prior competition calls.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses within the healthcare services industry, particularly those experienced in caring for individuals with life-limiting conditions. Pronounced opportunities exist for those capable of meeting high-quality standards, as demonstrated by the existing providers Cope Children's Trust and Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice, who have been deemed fit to continue service provision. This provides a strategic growth chance for businesses aiming to expand their service delivery in health and hospice care for young individuals. Given the specialised nature of the services, firms that are experienced in this niche sector stand to benefit most from these contracts.
