Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Dorset Integrated Care Board has initiated a procurement process for the Community Outbreak Response Service (CORS) addressing Influenza and Scabies within the Dorset community. Classified under Health services, this service is crucial for providing a coordinated clinical response to outbreaks, aiming to prevent case transmission and protect public health. The contract is awarded through the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) process to a current provider holding a similar NHS Standard Contract and will commence from 01 December 2025 to 30 November 2026, with a potential extension of 12 months. The contract value is approximately £40,000, supported by regulations governing health care service provider selections. The award was confirmed on 09 February 2026, with no challenges during the standstill period.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in community health services, particularly those with a robust track record in managing communicable diseases. The service requirements necessitate effective coordination and timely response, making it ideal for an experienced provider with existing NHS agreements. While the competition process did not include a prior call for bids, the selection was based on finding the most suitable provider following extensive criteria assessment. Companies specialising in disease management and possessing regional service capability within health frameworks stand to capitalise on this growth opportunity to expand their service scope in the community health sector. Additionally, the involvement and direct award to Crescent Providence Surgery, a small and medium enterprise located in Bournemouth, underscores prospects for SMEs engaging in specialised health services.
