Summary of the contracting process

NHS Norfolk & Waveney Integrated Care Board has awarded an urgent contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) for caretaking services at The Hollies Surgery, Downham Market, Norfolk. This direct award aims to ensure continuity of general-practitioner services and spans a 12-month period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement method utilised was limited, bypassing the standard competition procedures due to urgent circumstances. The newly awarded contract, valued at £697,957, falls under the Health Care Services industry category and was officially signed on 30th January 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those equipped to quickly address immediate risks to safety and quality of care. The short-term nature of the contract creates a unique gateway for firms like Litcham Health Centre, which has secured this award, to establish a strong presence and potentially secure future contracts such as the anticipated General Medical Services (GMS) contract set for procurement in 2025/26. This opportunity is well-suited for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering high-quality medical services under stringent time frames.
