Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board procured healthcare services for abdominal hernia repair and carpal tunnel hand surgery. The work is delivered for patients in Gloucestershire and forms part of the ICB’s existing service provision. It is a healthcare services requirement rather than a goods, construction or general consultancy opportunity. The selected provider is Independent Health Group Ltd, a healthcare supplier based in Bath. The buying organisation is NHS Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board, based in Gloucester. The services are contracted using local tariffs, which the ICB states provide value for money. The requirement covers the delivery of the specified surgical procedures, with activity dependent on patient demand and delivered services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The ICB used Direct Award Process B under the Healthcare Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, through an award procedure without prior publication of a competition. Independent Health Group Ltd was selected for the service. The contract commenced on 1 April 2026 for two years, with an option to extend for a further one-year period. It was signed on 30 July 2026. The published contract value is £0.01, but the notice explains that the true value is £0 and that there is no guaranteed activity; the amount will vary with activity delivered. Evaluation criteria were patient choice, assessed under both quality and cost. One bid was recorded.

This award indicates an established NHS requirement for providers able to deliver abdominal hernia repair and carpal tunnel hand surgery for patients in Gloucestershire. A credible competitor would need the clinical capability, capacity and operational arrangements to provide both types of procedure, manage activity that varies with demand, and work within local NHS tariff arrangements. The buyer describes the service as existing and the selected supplier as an existing provider, so relevant experience delivering these procedures for an integrated care board would be important. Independent Health Group Ltd is recorded as an SME, indicating that a specialist smaller healthcare provider can meet the requirement. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate safe, reliable surgical delivery and patient-focused service provision.
