Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board has successfully completed a procurement process for paediatric services titled "The Hamlet Centre. Contract Reference ICB-NP229". This direct award has been executed under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, bypassing standard open tender processes. The contract focuses on caring for children with complex health needs in Norwich, within the UKH15 region, enabling them to partake in activities and providing respite for their families. This award, totalling £122,900 GBP over a potential span of five years, was signed on 1 April 2025, with an initial three-year term and an optional two-year extension.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in paediatric care services, to engage in public sector contracts. Although the current contract has been awarded to The Hamlet Charity, companies with innovative approaches to health service delivery and a proven track record could position themselves as potential contenders for future similar opportunities. Given the current landscape, organisations familiar with the NHS procurement environment and those capable of delivering specialised care services in the East of England region may find lucrative prospects in such contracts.
