Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board (ICB) is undertaking a procurement process for the provision of therapeutic support services for survivors of sexual abuse or violence, as well as family support in the respective geographical region. This procurement is divided into two lots: Lot 1 focuses on providing tailored therapeutic support for survivors, while Lot 2 aims to support their families and carers. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the contracting process is currently at the 'award' stage, having been approved on 15 December 2025. The intended contract commencement is on 1 April 2026. The key criteria for awarding the contracts included quality, social value, and collaborative service sustainability, among others, with emphasis placed on addressing health inequalities through integration and innovation. The total contract value for Lot 1 is £1,125,000 over five years, with the potential for additional funds based on service demand and availability, while Lot 2 is valued at £100,000 over four years under similar conditions.

This procurement opens various opportunities for businesses, particularly those with expertise in healthcare services, to engage in providing vital support services. Companies specialising in therapeutic support, health services with the capacity to improve access and reduce stigma associated with sexual trauma, and those capable of innovative, collaborative service models would find this tender particularly suitable. The focus on quality and social value indicates potential for businesses to strengthen their community involvement and expand service offerings to marginalised groups, ensuring accessibility and equitable care. This project represents a strategic growth opportunity for providers ready to contribute to meaningful health outcomes within the Norfolk and Waveney regions.
