Summary of the contracting process

Recently, the NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has finalized the award of a contract titled "Reducing Inequalities Advice Service," under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023. This procurement concerns health services, specifically an advice and therapeutic service for asylum seekers and refugees in the Bradford district and Craven, falling under the services industry category. The procurement process involved a direct award method without prior publication of a call for competition, classified as 'limited' due to its repetitive nature of existing services. Key dates include the contract period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029, with a contract value of £314,746. The agency responsible for this process operates out of Bradford, United Kingdom.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses with experience in providing health-related services to vulnerable communities, such as asylum seekers and refugees. The procurement favours continuity, with the existing provider likely continuing to deliver services, as assessed by narrative evaluation. Businesses specialising in therapeutic, advisory, and supportive roles could see growth by aligning with the operational standards and needs of the NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board. Additionally, organisations that can demonstrate strong service quality and cost-effectiveness in similar community-focused health services will find themselves well-positioned to compete in future tenders of this nature. The awarded contract to Refugee Action highlights opportunities for SMEs engaged in health services across the UK.
