Summary of the contracting process

This contract falls under the "Health services" category with a CPV code 85100000, focused on delivering evidence-based care to optimise health and wellbeing while reducing pressure on emergency and urgent care services. The contracts, awarded through the Direct Award Process C under the Provider Selection Regime, cover services running from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029, delivered in Melton Mowbray and Market Harborough. This non-competitive process does not invoke the Procurement Act 2023, facilitating a smooth transition and continuity of services.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for healthcare providers capable of offering high-quality, cost-effective, and innovative services aligned with local healthcare community needs. The nature of this tender is especially suited for businesses focusing on healthcare, particularly those operating within the primary and urgent care sectors. Companies that have expertise in providing integrated care pathways and delivering community-based health services will find this an advantageous proposition, with an emphasis on improving accessibility and reducing health inequalities within Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland. Additionally, the focus on local employment and reducing travel needs for patients enhances the social value of this procurement, appealing to businesses prioritising community impact.
