Summary of the contracting process

This procurement covered a digital supported self-management education programme for people across the South West of England. Its purpose was to increase use of supported self-management tools and enhance primary care services across the region. The service falls within community, social and physical wellbeing services, and includes digital delivery of health and wellbeing support. NHS Somerset Integrated Care Board acted as the contracting authority on behalf of NHS England South West. NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit was the named buyer. Delivery was regional, covering the South West of England rather than a single local authority area. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to providers combining digital capability with population health or supported self-management expertise.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Hope 4 The Community CIC on 1 June 2026. The award value was £144,000 including VAT; the tender description gives a value of £120,000 excluding VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 March 2027, while the procurement description states a 12-month period up to 31 March 2027. The contract was let through a selective call-off from the East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub Social Impact Framework, Lot 12, covering physical health and wellbeing services. The tender submission deadline was 20 March 2026 at 5pm. The named supplier is Hope 4 The Community CIC. No separate lots or alternative awardees are identified.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates NHS demand for digitally enabled supported self-management education linked to primary care improvement across a whole NHS region. A credible future competitor would need a deployable digital programme, experience supporting people to manage physical health and wellbeing, and the ability to operate consistently across geographically dispersed communities. Capability in social impact delivery would be particularly relevant because the route used a Social Impact Framework lot for physical health and wellbeing services. Providers should also be able to evidence outcomes from self-management support, engagement with primary care or wider health services, and reliable service delivery at regional scale. The award to a small voluntary, community and social enterprise indicates that organisations of this type can be credible in this market.
