Summary of the contracting process

NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board coordinated a multilateral healthcare services contract with Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and other NHS commissioners across London, the Thames Valley, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, Essex, Kent and Medway, Surrey and Sussex, Norfolk and Suffolk, and Devon. The requirement covers acute healthcare services, including Commissioner Requested Services and specialised services. The recorded supplier is Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, a large NHS Foundation Trust based in London. The work is hospital and related healthcare provision, delivered in the UK, with the commissioning arrangement involving multiple NHS organisations. The requirement concerns services that the commissioners stated could be delivered only by this provider because of their nature.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used the Provider Selection Regime under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, specifically Direct Award Process A, without a prior call for competition. The award was made to Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust on 1 April 2026. The contract is active, signed on 1 April 2026, and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with no extension option. The stated lifetime value is £1,187,989,009 per annum, in pounds sterling. Price was the recorded evaluation criterion. One bid was recorded, valued at £1,187,989,009; both the lowest and highest valid bid values were the same. The procurement was covered by the GPA.

This award indicates substantial, recurring NHS demand for acute hospital healthcare, Commissioner Requested Services and specialised services across a broad group of commissioners. A credible future competitor would need to be an established NHS healthcare provider with the clinical capability, facilities, workforce and operational capacity to deliver acute and specialised services at national-scale public-sector volumes. Experience of working within NHS commissioning arrangements and meeting the requirements of multiple Integrated Care Boards and specialised commissioning would be important. The direct award rationale indicates that service-specific capability and continuity were decisive: the commissioners considered the selected provider uniquely able to deliver the services. Organisations seeking comparable work should therefore be able to demonstrate equivalent specialist provision, resilience and the ability to coordinate delivery across the relevant NHS commissioning footprint.
