## Summary

NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board buys hospice services for people needing palliative and end-of-life care, including treatment for motor neurone disease and cancer-related lymphoedema. The requirement concerns the provision of these health services in the Leicester area. The service is an established hospice offer, delivered by an existing provider, and combines specialist care and treatment across several serious and life-limiting conditions.

The contract was awarded to LOROS Hospice through Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process A, without a prior competition, on the basis that there was no realistic alternative provider. The award is active and the contract is active; it was signed on 15 April 2026. The stated delivery period is 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2027. The lot description gives values of £2,458,611.12 for 2025–2026 and £2,476,559 for 2026–2027; the contract value is £4,935,170.12. The lot is marked cancelled in the tender data, although the award and contract are active. One bid was recorded. The evaluation criterion was the absence of a realistic alternative provider.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future hospice requirement, the award demonstrates demand for a specialist, established service spanning palliative and end-of-life care, motor neurone disease treatment and cancer-related lymphoedema services. A credible provider would need the clinical capability and operational capacity to deliver this integrated hospice offer to patients in the Leicester area, as well as experience maintaining an existing service. The selection route used here was a direct award because the buyer judged there to be no realistic alternative provider, rather than a competitive tender based on price or quality scoring. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate a distinctive ability to meet the full service need and continuity requirements if a comparable requirement comes to market.
