Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves the NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board (BLMK ICB) and focuses on awarding a contract for the Integrated Community Dermatology Service in Milton Keynes. The procurement falls under the health services industry category and operates within the region of UKJ12. The procurement stage is currently in the award phase, following the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), with the contract's formal award subject to regulations specific to healthcare. The standstill period commenced with the publication of the intention to award notice on 1st September 2025, allowing for provider representations until 11th September 2025. The contract is set to be awarded without prior publication, following a direct award process to Watling Street Practice, with a duration from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with capabilities in community-based dermatology. Although the contract intends to be directly awarded to an existing provider, it highlights the potential for businesses to align with NHS frameworks and regulations such as the PSR for future opportunities. Companies experienced in providing integrated care solutions and those possessing a robust standing in community health settings would find themselves well-suited to compete, especially if they can demonstrate efficiency and reliability akin to established providers like Watling Street Practice. The contract, valued at £474,252, indicates the substantial commitment sought for healthcare delivery, fostering business growth through public sector engagement.
