Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board (ICB) has announced a contract modification for the Integrated Urgent Care (IUC) Services for West Essex CCG, now incorporating services for Hertfordshire. The contract, which was initially planned for five years with an activated four-year extension, totals a nine-year term effective from April 1, 2019, to March 31, 2028. This modification brings together NHS 111 call handling, NHS 111 online services, Clinical Assessment Services (CAS), and Primary Care Out of Hours (OOH) services under one umbrella, extending the scope to include the Acute In Hours Visiting Service for East and North Hertfordshire patients. The procurement process, which falls under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, has been designed to ensure continuity and integration of urgent care services across the Hertfordshire and West Essex ICB footprint, aligning with regional health transformation goals. Significant dates include the formal modification decision made in September 2023 and the contract modification effective from June 27, 2024, with the adjusted total value set to increase significantly to £126,807,743.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with experience in urgent care, clinical assessment, and integrated digital health solutions. Companies capable of providing NHS 111 services, both telephonic and online, as well as those offering robust out-of-hours primary care solutions, would find this opportunity particularly advantageous. By participating in this contract, businesses can contribute to a vital public health initiative, thereby enhancing their portfolio and establishing a strong foothold in the public sector healthcare market within the UK. Suppliers should demonstrate their ability to handle considerable service demands and ensure seamless integration across different healthcare service areas to meet the ICB's comprehensive and transformative service requirements.
