Summary of the contracting process

NHS Surrey and Sussex Integrated Care Board commissioned assisted conception services for West Surrey, delivered through Care Fertility Woking Limited in Woking. The service covers intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), including clinical treatment, patient support and associated fertility care. The procurement is categorised as in vitro fertilisation services (CPV 85111310). The model includes referral and working arrangements with NHS trusts, primary care, gynaecology and mental health services, alongside data-sharing and interoperability with NHS systems. It also supports equitable access for LGBTQ+ families, single parents and patients requiring donor gametes, with virtual consultations, patient education and digital treatment support.

The procurement has been awarded through Direct Award Process C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without a prior call for competition. The tender reached complete status, and Care Fertility Woking Limited was selected as the provider. The award was approved on 12 May 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The two-year contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028. Its value is £1,503,842, with an annual value of £751,921. The evaluation gave 100% weighting to the existing provider’s ability to continue delivering the required quality standard and 0% to cost. One bid was recorded.

This requirement shows demand for fertility providers able to deliver IUI, IVF and ICSI at NHS scale, with demonstrable clinical outcomes and safe, effective, patient-centred care. A credible future supplier would need evidence against national benchmarks, strong CQC performance, internal clinical governance, high patient satisfaction and reliable emotional support, communication and continuity. Relevant capability includes time-lapse embryo imaging, AI-supported embryo selection, clinical research and trials, personalised digital patient pathways and interoperable NHS data systems. Providers should also be able to manage referrals across primary care, NHS trusts, gynaecology and mental health services, support diverse patient groups, maintain capacity and waiting-time performance, and offer efficient activity-based or bundled treatment pricing. Local employment, supply chains and credible carbon-reduction measures are also important.
