Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (ICB) had initiated a procurement process for a Prime Provider to deliver community health clinics and health events in Inner City & East Bristol, under the category of health services. This tender aimed to address health inequalities across specific population groups, enhance access to healthcare, and support community resilience and engagement. The procurement stage had reached a tender update, however, the competitive provider selection process has been abandoned as of 10th June 2026, under the Provider Selection Regime 2023, without awarding a contract. The initial launch date for this service was set for 1st September 2026, with a planned term of 3 years and an option for a 2-year extension, situating the procurement within a larger financial envelope of £521,510, inclusive of VAT, for potential fulfilment over 5 years.

This procurement sought to create substantive business opportunities, particularly for those capable of delivering specialised health services addressing health inequalities in diverse and underserved communities. Businesses well-suited for this tender would have been those equipped with the capacity and capability for inclusive community healthcare delivery, and a strategic alignment with preventative healthcare and community engagement. Although the process has been abandoned, it nonetheless reflects a focused demand for healthcare providers looking to expand their service outreach and impact within a community-centred model that aligns with primary care objectives. Potential suitors could watch for similar future opportunities, especially as the merging of regional integrated care boards might open up additional possibilities in healthcare service delivery framework discussions by April 2027.
