The project, under CPV code 85100000 and categorised under health services, involves providing integrated urgent care in primary and community settings aimed at reducing emergency department attendance. This initiative is centrally located in the UKF region with the contract running from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028. The procurement utilised a Direct Award C PSR process without prior publication of a competition call, with the lifetime contract value estimated at approximately £12.9 million. The contract was awarded to DHU 4FED URGENT CARE (WEST LEICESTERSHIRE) C.I.C., following a Provider Selection Regime under the Health Care Services Regulations 2023.

This tender presents a promising opportunity for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those experienced in the delivery of urgent care. With a substantial contract value and a duration of two years, established providers who have the capacity to efficiently integrate and manage urgent care services in the community could find substantial business growth potential.
