Summary of the contracting process

The Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust is updating the tender for the provision of Primary Care Services to Northside House, Secure Service, with particular focus on health and social work services. The services involve full registration of up to 50 patients with mainstream primary care practices and fortnightly clinics at Northside House. The procurement process is governed by the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) under the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, avoiding Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract award notice is confirmed with Norfolk Primary Care CIC, having won under the PSR most suitable provider process, with a 16-month backdated term starting 1st December 2025 to 31st March 2027, valued at £35,280. The contract process was approved by key personnel within Norfolk and Suffolk NHS and there were no conflicts of interest declared.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those experienced in managing chronic conditions such as asthma, COPD, and diabetes. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) or larger healthcare providers with a proven track record in providing resilient primary care services, especially in secure environments, are well-suited to compete. Providers experienced in face-to-face clinical services, with expertise in managing complex patient requirements, could potentially expand their service offerings. This could be particularly beneficial for organisations with capacity to dovetail clinical needs within Secure Services, supporting in-patient staff. The Norfolk Primary Care CIC has already demonstrated capability in this realm, providing direct GP access, chronic disease management reviews, referrals to secondary care, and promoting health services, positioning them well for ongoing success.
