Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board has concluded a procurement process under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 for the Community Musculoskeletal Service covering Nottingham West and Nottingham North East. This service, focused on health services, involves triaging patients to the most appropriate care, with secondary care accessed only if necessary. The contract, valued at approximately £1,797,411, was awarded through a direct award process, formalised with Cora Health Limited. The service is set to run from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with the procurement method described as a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement process is complete, with no substantial changes to contracting arrangements, and the relevant criteria were weighted equally.

This procurement provides an opportunity for service providers specialising in community health services, particularly those with experience in delivering musculoskeletal pathways, to potentially engage in future tenders that may arise from the ongoing needs of the NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board. It presents an advantageous scenario for businesses with capabilities and a strong track record in healthcare service delivery to align with public sector health objectives. Companies with a focus on quality and cost-efficient service provision in community health settings, as well as an understanding of the NHS framework and expectations, would be well-positioned for future tender opportunities in similar procurements.
