Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves NHS Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care Board (ICB) coordinating a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) contracting procedure under the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, specifically exempt from the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and The Procurement Act 2023. The contract focuses on acute services provided by the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust across regions in the South East of England, identified as UKJ2. This multilateral contract, effective from 22 January 2026, includes multiple associate commissioners such as NHS Sussex ICB and NHS Frimley ICB. The procurement, currently in its award stage, addresses increased maternity service demand, with further contracts supporting non-recurrent funding to ensure safe delivery and system-wide planning. The contract's legal basis is enriched by CELEX 32014L0024, and no conflicts of interest arose during the process. The procurement method was limited due to the procurement falling outside the directive's scope, and the contract was signed on 2 October 2025 with a duration of 69 days.

The awarded contract signifies substantial business growth opportunities in hospital and related services, particularly for large-scale healthcare providers like the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust, due to their capacity to deliver specialised commissioner requested services without realistic competition. The procurement method employed a direct award process, acknowledging the unique capability of NHS providers in delivering the required services—highlighting the chance for providers with similar capabilities to align with NHS operations. Businesses involved in health service delivery and clinical partnerships may find potential growth in collaboration, resource sharing, and financial transparency models featured in the contract, supporting increased activity and complexity. Additionally, opportunities arise for businesses in the supply chain associated with healthcare service delivery, including clinical team support and communications standardisation, fostering partnerships and ensuring equitable access within the healthcare system. This contract also emphasises a non-recurrent funding model, allowing innovative approaches to maternity care delivery that adapts to rising demand and complexity.
