Summary of the contracting process

NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has announced an intention to award a contract for General Medical and Primary Healthcare Services in York, targeting people seeking asylum or refugee status. This public procurement falls under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) governed by the Health Care Services Regulations 2023 and not the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement category is services, specifically aligned with general-practitioner services. The process does not involve prior publication of a call for competition and utilises a limited procurement method. Key dates include the standstill period ending at 23:59hrs on 26 June 2026. The tentative contract value is approximately £131,000, with provisions for an extension of up to six months beyond the initial contract term from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses entrenched in delivering high-quality healthcare services, particularly those capable of managing complex health requirements for vulnerable populations. Companies that specialise in innovation, maintain strong clinical governance, and can prove capabilities in integrated health systems are likely to find this opportunity beneficial for growth. As the existing provider, Nimbuscare Limited, was evaluated to meet and continue fulfilling the contractual standards, businesses with similar strengths, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), might consider positioning themselves for future opportunities through collaboration or subcontracting to leverage the potential this sector offers.

    "description": "This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made to decision makers by 23:59hrs 26 June 2026. Provider representations in relation to this intention to award notice should be submitted in writing to hnyicb.procurement@nhs.net This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. The contract award was approved by Chief Operating Officer (Acting) and the Deputy Director of Finance and Investment. No conflicts of interest have been declared in relation to the contract award. The criteria applied to this intention to award was: Basic Selection Criteria - Mandatory and Discretionary Grounds - Suitability to pursue activity - Technical and professional ability Key Criteria Quality - 30% Quality is weighted highest because it represents the core purpose of the service - delivering safe, effective, patient centred care with the ability to adapt and improve. A higher weighting ensures providers who demonstrate strong clinical governance, innovation and measurable outcomes are appropriately prioritised Innovation - 10% Innovation is weighted lower to ensure new approaches enhance service delivery without overshadowing essential quality and safety standards. It recognises the importance of improvement while preserving balance in evaluation. Value - 15% Value is weighted moderately to capture efficiency and cost effectiveness, while ensuring assessments do not become cost driven. This supports fair and proportionate evaluation and maintains quality as the primary focus. Integration, collaboration and service sustainability - 15% This criterion is weighted moderately because effective collaboration within the wider health and care system is essential for seamless pathways and long term sustainability Improving Access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice - 20% Improving access and inequalities is weighted to reflect equitable access, addressing local health inequalities, and ensuring the service is configured around population needs. This weighting recognises the service contribution to reducing inequalities. Social Value - 10% Social Value is weighted at the required minimum standard and ensure providers contribute to local economic, social and environmental wellbeing, while maintaining focus on core service outcomes NHS Humber and North Yorkshire ICB have conducted an assessment of the Provider against the stated Basic Selection Criteria and Key Criteria and considers that the existing provider is satisfying its current existing contract, will likely satisfy the new contract to a sufficient standard, and the proposed contracting arrangements are not changing considerably.",
