## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership is seeking to renew its contract for the provision of a Community Specialist Palliative Care Service across Cardiff North and West and Cardiff South and East. This procurement process is now complete, having been initiated with the intent to maintain essential health services in the community. The award of this contract, which amounts to £3,802,260 for a duration of five years (with a possible two-year extension), has been finalised with the City Hospice Trust Ltd. The contract was signed on 31st March 2022, following a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition due to existing negotiations with the current provider. Delivery will be undertaken primarily in the Cardiff region, specifically targeted to enhance health service coordination within the area.
