Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Commissioning Board is currently managing a procurement process for independent services within the health sector, specifically classified under the CPV code 85100000. This tender, titled "Independent Services," is at the award stage following a 24-month extension of an existing contract originally effective from May 16, 2019, and now set to conclude on October 31, 2027. The procurement has implications for various health service frameworks, which are accessible through a mini-competition or direct award. This contract covers services across the UK and is associated with the Public Contract Regulations 2015.

This opportunity is particularly advantageous for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and other service providers specialising in health investigations. Companies with experience in independent investigations, case management, or related health services should consider competing for this contract, as it allows for annual applications to join the framework or to apply for additional service categories. Given the backlog due to previous disruptions in the NHS, there is a significant potential for business growth within this sector.
