Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for the provision of Neurology Outpatient Services for Adults. This contract, made under the Healthcare Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, has been awarded through a limited procurement method, specifically a Direct Award Process without prior publication for a competitive call. The contract, handled by the Operational Executive Committee, commenced on 1 March 2026 and will run for a period of three years, with the option to extend for two additional years. This healthcare services contract in Gloucestershire occupies the Health industry category and includes patient choice as its key quality and cost criteria, despite being awarded with a nominal contract value of £0.01.

This tender provides potential benefits for businesses involved in healthcare services, particularly those specialising in neurology. It could serve as a growth opportunity for new providers entering the market, as demonstrated by the award to Cotswold Neurology Clinics Limited, an SME based in London. Businesses capable of delivering quality outpatient services and managing fluctuating local tariff prices will be successful in future similar tenders. Opportunities for extension provide additional prospects for businesses to solidify their presence in the Gloucestershire region and expand their service offerings under regulated frameworks. The absence of prior competition call further underscores the importance of maintaining high standards in health service provision for successful tender bids.
