Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) is conducting a procurement process for assisted reproduction techniques (ART), including in vitro fertilisation (IVF) services. The contract is specifically targeted at serving the GP practice populations in East Riding of Yorkshire, Hull, Scarborough, and surrounding areas in the United Kingdom. Governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, this procurement utilises a direct award process with contract terms slated from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029 and an estimated contract value of £3,217,725. The procurement method employed is limited, meaning the award will proceed without prior publication of a call for competition.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in ART and IVF services, particularly those focusing on delivering quality and innovative reproductive health solutions. With the emphasis on clinical governance, service efficiency, collaboration within healthcare systems, and reducing health inequalities, businesses specialising in patient-centric fertility treatments and capable of meeting diverse population needs are well-suited for this endeavour. Firms will need to demonstrate technical and professional ability, innovation, and social value while ensuring compliance with licensing requirements and offering cost-effective services, as outlined in the selection criteria. Existing providers in the region, such as East Riding Fertility Services Limited, with a proven track record and capability, are well-positioned to benefit from this procurement opportunity.
