Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Integrated Care Board is progressing with a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) 2023 Direct Award Process C. This process specifically pertains to Primary Care Services for Homeless Health in Cambridge. The intention to award is targeted for a service commencing on 1 April 2026 and running until 31 March 2029, with a potential two-year extension. This contract award is under a limited procurement method and will not comply with the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The location for the services is within the geographical boundary of Cambridge City, focusing on general-practitioner services for the homeless and those at risk of homelessness. A significant deadline for representations is set for 23 December 2025, following the decision made on 13 November 2025 by the Primary Care Commissioning Sub-Committee.

This procurement presents notable opportunities for businesses adept at providing specialised health services to atypical populations, especially those with a focus on outreach and community collaboration. Companies that have experience in delivering effective healthcare solutions to vulnerable populations, such as the homeless or those at risk of homelessness, are well-situated to compete. The decision highlights the importance of stability and continuity in service delivery, suggesting that entities capable of maintaining seamless transitions and continuity of care may find strategic growth potential. The existing provider, Malling Health UK Ltd, illustrates the requirement for providers with outstanding service track records and established community integration, emphasising the need for quality and consistent service standards to meet both current and future needs within an established financial framework.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) 2023 Direct Award Process C Intention to Award Notice. Cambridgeshire and Peterborough ICB intend to undertake a Direct Award Process C under the PSR for this Primary Medical Service. This service delivers general primary medical services for an acknowledged atypical population within the geographical boundary of Cambridge City. The registered population predominantly includes those who are homeless, at risk of becoming homeless (e.g., sofa surfers), and those who have experienced homelessness in the past. The service also offers outreach services with local homeless services. This service is due to be in place between 01 April 2026 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend for two years. Additional information: The current provider has been delivering the service since 2013. They have an outstanding CQC rating following their latest inspection in 2021 and excellent patient survey results (2025). The practice provides services specifically for the homeless population. The current provider and their workforce are skilled at supporting this vulnerable group and moving to a new provider will destabilise the service.

Options: Option to extend for up to two years.
