Summary of the contracting process

NHS Hampshire and the Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board is procuring a community musculoskeletal service for adults. The service will support people registered with NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight GP practices, and others for whom the integrated care board is the responsible commissioner. The provider will deliver the service across the whole NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight population, covering Hampshire, Portsmouth, Southampton and the Isle of Wight, including North East Hampshire. This is a health service requirement, covering community-based musculoskeletal care for a population of more than two million. The service must respond to differing local needs, including an ageing population, increasing frailty, multiple health needs, rural communities, coastal areas, ethnic diversity, deprivation and mental health vulnerability.

The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with bids submitted electronically in English. The tender deadline set by the buyer was 23 October 2026 at 14:00. Bid opening and the start of the award period were scheduled for 23 October 2026 at 14:01. The contract is planned to run from 1 October 2027 to 30 September 2032. Its estimated value is £137,739,079.15. The contract includes an option to extend for two further 12-month periods, following the initial five-year term. It is a single-lot requirement, and variant bids are not allowed. The procurement is subject to the Provider Selection Regime under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

This opportunity suits established healthcare providers able to design and deliver community musculoskeletal services for adults at substantial population scale. Strong candidates will need the clinical capability to support people with musculoskeletal conditions while adapting delivery to ageing patients, frailty, multiple health needs and differing urban, rural and coastal communities. Providers should be able to operate across Hampshire, Portsmouth, Southampton and the Isle of Wight, with the organisational capacity to serve patients referred through GP practices and others for whom the integrated care board is responsible. Experience of delivering NHS or publicly commissioned community services, coordinating care across a wide geography and responding to health inequalities would be directly relevant. The requirement is likely to suit providers with mature operational, clinical governance and population-management arrangements.

Notice Description

The NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board (HIOW ICB) are seeking a provider for their Community Musculoskeletal Service.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care System serves a population across Hampshire, Portsmouth, Southampton and Isle of Wight. In April 2026, the North East Hampshire population joined NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight, taking our total population to over 2 million. Overall, our population is ageing, living with increasing frailty and multiple health needs, especially in rural areas, West Hampshire and Isle of Wight. In urban areas such as Southampton, Portsmouth, and North-East Hampshire, the population is more ethnically diverse. There are also higher levels of deprivation and mental health vulnerability in these areas. We have coastal communities, and these areas have lower life expectancy and higher rates of many diseases in comparison to non-coastal areas. The community musculoskeletal (MSK) service is for adults who are registered with NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight GP practices, or for whom NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight is the responsible commissioner. The provider is expected to deliver services for the whole population of NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight.

Options: 5 year contract with the option to extend for 2 x 12 month periods.

Renewal: 5 year contract with the option to extend for 2 x 12 month periods.
