Summary of the contracting process

The NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board is progressing with a Provider Selection Regime to potentially award a contract for the 'Reducing Inequalities Advice Service'. This initiative aims to deliver health services, specifically advice and therapeutic services, to asylum seekers and refugees within Bradford district and Craven. Following a Direct Award Process, the current procurement stage is in the intention to award phase, governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, with a standstill period lasting until 25 March 2026. The contract intends to cover the period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029, with a planned contract value of £314,746. The procurement method being employed is limited, meaning there was no prior publication for competition.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for providers within the health industry, especially those experienced in delivering services to vulnerable communities such as asylum seekers and refugees. Businesses specialising in health services within the Bradford area could stand to grow by aligning their offerings with the project's objectives, focusing on reducing inequalities and enhancing support services. The process leans towards continuity of service, suggesting that firms adept at long-term community engagement and possessing prior experience in similar service sectors would be well-positioned to succeed. The current service provider, Refugee Action, may participate actively, indicating opportunities for existing providers familiar with the local demographic needs and service delivery complexities.
