Summary of the contracting process

The NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board is the contracting authority for the procurement process titled "NHSWYICB - Improving Health for the Homeless," which falls under the health services category (CPV: 85100000). This procurement aims to enhance healthcare support for the homeless population in Bradford. The procurement follows the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and is currently at the award stage, with the contract period defined from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. The process has utilised a limited procurement method, with an intention to award notice marking the start of a standstill period until 2 July 2026. The estimated contract value is £423,921, and it has been decided to proceed with a direct award to the existing provider, Bevan Community Benefit Society.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare services, particularly those experienced in providing community-based support and services to vulnerable populations like the homeless. Companies operating in Bradford that can offer strong integration with local healthcare systems and demonstrate the capacity to reduce health inequalities will be especially well-suited to compete. Although the contract has been directly awarded due to its nature, businesses can view the process as a benchmark for understanding the service requirements and performance criteria that impact decision-making within healthcare procurement frameworks like the PSR. This could offer insights into future opportunities where showcasing quality service delivery and integration with local providers may be advantageous.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Contract Authority; NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board intends to award a contract to an existing provider following Direct Award Process C. The authority is publishing this notice in Find a Tender in accordance with the NHS Provider Selection Regime.

Contract Period: 01/04/2026 - 31/03/2029

Contract Value: PS423,921. Additional information: 1. Eligibility for Direct Award Process C
The Record of Decision Making confirms that the service:
* is an existing service;
* is delivered by an existing provider (Bevan Community Benefits Society);
* is replacing a contract that is due to expire; and
* is therefore eligible in principle for Direct Award Process C.
The Record also identifies the named decision maker, senior approving bodies, contract value and term, and confirms that no conflicts of interest were declared. This document evidences that the decision was taken consciously and contemporaneously within the PSR framework, rather than by default or assumption.
2. No Considerable Change to Contracting Arrangements
The Bevan IHH Specification 2026 demonstrates that the proposed contract does not introduce any considerable change when compared with the existing arrangements.
In substance:
* the service model remains a community based, de medicalised chronic pain pathway;
* the population, geography, referral routes, and eligibility criteria are unchanged;
* delivery remains with the same provider, using the same integrated model;
* there is no expansion, reconfiguration, or transfer of material risk.
The ICB actively reviewed the proposed scope, duration, outcomes, delivery model, and risk profile against the existing contract and concluded that none of these elements met the PSR "considerable change" threshold. While the specification is presented in an updated format, the underlying service is materially consistent with the existing contract.
3. Provider Performance and Likely Future Performance
The Service Review Template - PSR Key Criteria provides detailed, narrative based evidence demonstrating that the existing provider:
* is satisfying the current contract to a sufficient standard; and
* is likely to satisfy the proposed contract to a sufficient standard.
The Service Review assesses performance against all PSR key criteria, including:
* Quality and innovation, supported by independently evaluated outcomes and national recognition;
* Value and stewardship of public funds, including strong return on investment, system savings, and low cost per QALY;
* Integration, collaboration, and sustainability, with delivery embedded across primary care, community services;
* Access, inequalities, and choice, with culturally adapted provision targeted at underserved populations; and
* Social value, including local employment, prevention, and community capacity building.
The ICB considered not only historic performance, but also whether the provider's established workforce, governance arrangements, and delivery model provide assurance of continued performance under the proposed contract. The proposed contract does not introduce new delivery requirements, expanded cohorts, or increased demand beyond that already successfully managed by the provider.
4. Proportionality and Overall Assurance
In determining the appropriate procurement route, the ICB considered whether a competitive process would deliver additional benefit. Given the continuity of need, the absence of material change, the provider's sustained performance, and the risks associated with service disruption, the ICB concluded that a competitive process would not be proportionate to the time, cost, and delivery risk involved.
Taken together, the three documents provide a coherent and auditable justification for the use of Direct Award Process C, demonstrating that:
* the regulatory conditions for Process C are met;
* the decision was taken lawfully, transparently, and proportionately;
* the existing provider sufficiently meets the PSR criteria; and
* continuity of a clinically effective and system beneficial service is in the best interests of patients and the wider system.
WY ICB therefore remains satisfied that the requirements of the Provider Selection Regime have been properly applied and evidenced.
