Summary of the contracting process

NHS Surrey and Sussex Integrated Care Board commissioned a community cardiology diagnostic service for Surrey Downs. The service covers direct-access Simple ECGs, ambulatory ECG monitoring over 24, 48 and 72 hours, and simple echocardiograms. It is intended to support earlier diagnosis and management of cardiovascular conditions, including atrial fibrillation, heart failure and coronary heart disease. Delivery is through community clinics, with trained technicians and responsible clinicians interpreting results and supporting follow-up care. The model is designed to improve access for older people, patients with long-term conditions and people in rural or transport-challenged areas, while reducing reliance on hospital-based diagnostics. The procurement is for healthcare services, classified under cardiology services. The selected provider is GP Health Partners Limited, an SME based in Leatherhead.

The procurement has been awarded through Direct Award Process C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using a limited procedure without a prior call for competition. The award date and contract signing date were 12 May 2026. GP Health Partners Limited was selected as the sole provider. The contract value is £1.1 million over two years, covering 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028, equivalent to £550,000 per year. Evaluation gave 100% weighting to quality and 0% to cost, based on the existing provider’s performance and expected ability to meet the proposed requirements. The process recorded one bid. The single lot is marked cancelled, while the related award and contract are recorded as active.

This award demonstrates established NHS demand for community-based cardiology diagnostics in Surrey Downs and the type of provider judged suitable for the requirement. A credible future competitor would need to deliver Simple ECG, 24-, 48- and 72-hour ambulatory ECG, and simple echocardiogram services through accessible community locations. Relevant capability includes NICE-compliant diagnostic practice, trained staff able to perform tests accurately and safely, and responsible clinicians who can interpret results and support timely clinical decisions. Providers would also need effective direct referral and booking arrangements, flexible appointment capacity, and pathways linking technicians, clinicians, GPs and primary care services. Evidence of consistent service quality, patient-centred care, local workforce development, health-inequality benefits, environmental sustainability and reduced pressure on acute services would align with this buyer’s stated priorities.
