Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board (ICB) is in the planning and award stages of a contract for the provision of integrated urgent care services in West Leicestershire. This procurement falls under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023 and is a direct award procedure, exempt from the Procurement Act 2023. The contracting process includes a standstill period commencing right after the publication of this intention to award notice. The services, classified under the health services category, aim to enhance primary and community care settings and are scheduled to be provided from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028, with a contract value of approximately £12.9 million. The process allows provider representations to be submitted by midnight on 23rd March 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses focusing on health services, particularly those experienced in delivering urgent care solutions that reduce avoidable patient visits to emergency departments. As the contract is set to be awarded to DHU 4FED Urgent Care (West Leicestershire) C.I.C., businesses with similar expertise might explore future collaborative ventures or prepare for subsequent competitive bids. Given the limited procurement method and the intention to award to an existing provider based on past performance, businesses specialising in urgent and integrated care, with a proven track record of excellence in primary and community care, may find potential areas for growth through partnership or subcontracting opportunities. Businesses located within the UKF regions, specifically in Leicestershire, would be particularly well-positioned to engage with this procurement process, leveraging existing infrastructure and locality advantage.
