Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by NHS Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (ICB) involves the provision of Pain Management Services, which falls under the health services industry category. The contract, which is set in the Gloucestershire region (UKK13), was awarded to Pastel Health Ltd following a limited procurement method under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procedure used was a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition, and the contract was signed on 12th September 2025, with commencement on 1st October 2025, lasting for three years and an option to extend for an additional two years. This stage of the procurement, classified as an 'award,' confirms the contract is active, although it is a zero-value contract with no guaranteed activity.

This tender provides growth opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare, particularly those adept at delivering pain management services. The contract, although currently zero-value and with a new provider, allows for potential activity that matches locally set tariffs, offering an avenue for generating revenue dependent on activity. This situation is particularly advantageous for SMEs like Pastel Health Ltd, who are able to establish or expand their footprint within the Gloucestershire health services sector. Businesses with experience in patient care, cost-effective service delivery, and strong patient choice ethos would be well-suited to engage with this type of contract.
