Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Surrey and Sussex Integrated Care Board commissioned a community lymphoedema service for East Surrey. The service treats and advises patients with primary and secondary lymphoedema, including compression bandaging and therapy, lymphatic drainage, exercise and skincare advice, and personalised self-management support. It is intended to provide ongoing care closer to home, with choice over where and when treatment is delivered. Delivery includes community clinics and, where clinically appropriate, home visits. The procurement is for healthcare services, classified under physiotherapy services. The service is designed to support patients with complex needs, improve independence and long-term outcomes, and reduce reliance on GP and acute healthcare pathways through coordinated community care.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. NHS Surrey and Sussex Integrated Care Board selected Pioneer Wound Healing Centres CIC through Provider Selection Regime direct award process C, an award procedure without prior publication of a competition. The award date and contract signature date were 12 May 2026. The contract is valued at £105,000 over two years, from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028. The evaluation gave 30% each to quality and innovation and value, 15% each to integration, collaboration and service sustainability and to improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice, and 10% to social value. One bid was recorded, and the existing provider was assessed solely on quality.

This award indicates demand for specialist community lymphoedema provision from an NHS integrated care board. A credible future supplier would need clinical expertise in managing primary and secondary lymphoedema, including compression therapy, lymphatic drainage, exercise, skincare and self-management education. Experience supporting complex patients and delivering safe, person-centred care across a full patient pathway would be important. The service model also favours providers able to work closely with primary care, community teams and referrers, offer clinic and home-based care, and support early intervention close to patients’ homes. Strong candidates would demonstrate measurable outcomes, reliable reporting, responsiveness to commissioner requirements, continuous improvement, culturally appropriate support, local workforce development and efficient use of NHS resources.
