Summary of the contracting process

NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board commissioned a discharge-to-assess service providing packages of care in people’s homes after hospital discharge. The service is intended to prevent gaps in support for patients leaving hospital and covers discharge support at home across Nottinghamshire County. This is a health services requirement, classified under CPV 85100000. The work involves arranging and delivering home-based care packages rather than supplying clinical equipment or undertaking construction. It is relevant to organisations with an established home-care or nursing service able to support discharge arrangements across the county, manage immediate risks to safety and quality of care, and provide care in people’s own homes.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to AMG Nursing and Home Care Services. The contract was signed on 11 June 2026 and has a value of £720,000 GBP. Services are provided from 1 July to 4 August 2026, with an additional four-week option covering 5 to 31 August 2026. The buyer used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, under the urgent circumstances provisions of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The authority stated that rapid action was required because of an unforeseen emergency. One bid was recorded. Evaluation was based entirely on quality, specifically addressing immediate risks to safety and quality of care; price carried no weighting.

This award demonstrates demand from NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board for short-term, county-wide home-care packages supporting hospital discharge. Competitors considering similar work for this buyer would need to show that they can mobilise quickly in urgent circumstances and maintain continuity of care when patients leave hospital. Strong evidence would include the ability to assess and manage immediate safety and care-quality risks, coordinate packages in people’s homes, and deploy enough suitably capable staff across Nottinghamshire County. The successful supplier was recorded as a large organisation, indicating that operational scale and reliable coverage are important for this requirement. The route used also shows that provider selection can prioritise care quality over price.
