VEAT NOTICE: Children's Palliative Care and End of Life Pathway for East Berkshire CCG

NHS East Berkshire Clinical Commissioning Group (the CCG) are planning to contract with Alexander Devine Children's Hospice Service for the provision of a Children's Palliative Care and End of Life Pathway under a Single Tender Waiver (STW).

This approach enables integration of local services to release significant benefits to patients and is also expected to improve the use of public funding and therefore deliver best value.

The contract will be for three years from 1st August 2021. The estimated annual value is 177,000 GBP. Please refer to the service description attached for a full description of requirements. Whilst the CCG believe that a direct award without competition is the most appropriate way forward for this contract, other organisations that believe they are capable of providing this service and would like to express interest should contact Alan Kilham, Lead Senior Procurement Manager at akilham@nhs.net

This process is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners.
