Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board has completed the procurement process for the "SWH - Verulam Chronic Migraine Service 25/27". This procurement falls under the health services category and is aimed at providing clinical management for patients with chronic migraines in the UKH23 region, specifically located in Welwyn Garden City, United Kingdom. The service will commence from 1st April 2025 and run until 31st March 2026, with a potential one-year extension. The contract has been awarded to Neecare Health Care Ltd through Direct Award Process C under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This method bypassed the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, focusing primarily on ensuring continuity and quality of service based on the existing provider's performance. Key dates include the contract award date on 27th December 2024, following approvals from the ICB's Strategic Finance and Commissioning Committee. The contract's maximum value is £77,748 per annum, with a total potential value of £155,496 for two years.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for health service providers, especially those specialising in chronic migraine management. The existing provider, Neecare Health Care Ltd, delivers botulinum injection therapy for chronic migraine patients compliant with NICE Guidelines, demonstrating expertise in this niche. The service's localised approach reduces need for patients to seek treatment outside the area, enhancing patient satisfaction and operational efficiency. Companies that excel in delivering high-quality, patient-centred care and can align with the Integrated Care System's objectives will find this opportunity beneficial. With a focus on reducing avoidable A&E attendances and integrating seamlessly within the local healthcare network, this contract is ideal for providers committed to innovation, quality, and sustainable healthcare delivery.
