Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for a "Discharge to Assess (D2A) service" within the health services category, aimed at providing discharge support at home in Nottinghamshire County. This procurement process was completed on 31st March 2026, with services set to commence from 1st April to 30th June 2026. The contract, valued at approximately £1,314,000, was awarded under urgent circumstances to prevent any gap in service provision. The decision was made by the Joint Commissioning Executive Group using emergency powers outside the usual scope of the Procurement Act 2023, implementing the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and its regulations from 2023. The procurement was conducted through a limited procedure without prior publication due to the unforeseen emergency, focusing solely on quality criteria related to addressing risks to safety and care quality.

This contract represents significant business opportunities for organisations within the health services industry capable of providing home care support packages. Given the urgency and limited timeframe, businesses that specialise in efficient, quality health care delivery are particularly well-suited to this type of procurement. Large scale providers like AMG Nursing and Home Care Services, who secured this contract, exemplify the ideal candidate with their capability to swiftly mobilise resources and meet emergency needs in care provision. Organisations able to demonstrate their ability to respond rapidly and maintain high standards of service in the health sector can find growth opportunities through such urgent contracts, which can further enhance their positioning in public health care tenders.
