The services are set to commence from 1st December 2025 and will run until 30th November 2028 with an approximate lifetime value of £4,501,923. This procurement falls under the "Health services" category and will enable the provision of a multidisciplinary care approach across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. The procurement stages progressed from planning in February 2025 to the award decision by the Strategic Planning and Integration Committee in July 2025, with contract confirmation formally announced in February 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for providers in the health services sector to expand their outreach and contribute to integrated care approaches, particularly within primary care networks.
