Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board is embarking on a procurement process for the Community Musculoskeletal Service in Rushcliffe. This process is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice, subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, with the standstill period concluding on 9 April 2026. The contract value is approximately £741,292 for a period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The procurement method is a limited procedure, allowing for a direct award without prior publication due to the existing provider's satisfactory service. The Strategic Planning and Integration Committee oversees this process, ensuring compliance with industry standards and internal regulations. The service is categorised under health services, covering the UKF16 region in Nottingham.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those experienced in managing community care pathways. The contract is ideal for companies with capacities to continue or enhance direct service provision, as indicated by the reliance on existing providers who meet service criteria. Businesses looking to expand within Nottingham's healthcare sector can benefit from establishing a foothold through this project. While the existing provider, Circle Health Group, is a large-scale organisation, the potential for service mobilisation and subsequent competitive procurement processes suggests room for collaboration and future opportunities in the evolving healthcare service landscape.
