Summary of the contracting process

BIP Solutions Limited is procuring clinical services to operate and run an Urgent Treatment Centre in the South East of England. The requirement is for a GP-managed service working alongside Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust emergency department clinicians. The centre will operate for 12 hours each day, treating patients with minor illness who are directed there by the Trust’s staff. The procurement covers two lots, with both Lot 1 and Lot 2 to be awarded to the winning bidder. The services include Winchester, which is expected to go live later than the other service location. This is a healthcare service focused on general-practitioner provision and urgent treatment for minor illness, rather than the supply of goods or construction works.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline set by the buyer was 9 January 2026 at 00:00 UTC. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with two possible extension years described in the requirement, giving a stated three-year term plus two years of extension options. The published procurement value is £1 GBP. Both lots are intended to be awarded to the winning bidder, with staggered start dates because the Winchester service will commence later. The contract is classified as a services procurement for general-practitioner services. The stated suitability indicates that small and medium-sized enterprises may compete. Offers are assessed against the requirements set out for the service, including delivery of the GP-managed UTC alongside emergency department clinicians.

This opportunity suits GP providers and healthcare organisations able to take operational responsibility for an Urgent Treatment Centre, provide clinical cover for 12 hours a day and manage the treatment of minor illness. Strong candidates will have qualified general-practitioner capacity, robust arrangements for staffing and clinical governance, and experience coordinating patient pathways with emergency department teams. Suppliers must be able to operate the service across both lots and manage staggered mobilisation, including a later start for Winchester. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist healthcare providers may be able to compete where they can demonstrate sufficient workforce, service-management capability and resilience. Providers with established urgent-care delivery models and the capacity to work within a hospital emergency-care environment are likely to be well placed.
