Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contract concerning the "Cheshunt MIU" was formally awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contracting authority for this procurement is the NHS Central East Integrated Care Board, located in Ely, United Kingdom. This procurement, classified under CPV Code 85100000 for health services, covers a walk-in minor injury unit catering to all presenting patients. The location focus for this service is East and North Hertfordshire. The contract's duration is initially set for one year, from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with an optional one-year extension. The award procedure was limited without prior publication, following the direct award process C, and the contract value was amended to reflect a total of approximately £3,025,048, including Essex ICB's involvement.

This tender represents significant opportunities for organisations within health services looking to establish or expand their presence in East and North Hertfordshire. Companies with a strong capability in delivering health services, particularly those experienced in handling minor injuries, might find this a fruitful engagement. The procurement favours entities that can demonstrate value, integration, innovation, and commitment to reducing health inequalities. Businesses already part of, or able to align with, NHS Integrated Care Boards standards and regulations would be well-suited to compete as this is a direct award without prior competition. Special consideration is given to quality, innovation, and the ability to enhance service sustainability, positioning this as an excellent opportunity for capable providers to contribute to regional healthcare initiatives.
