Summary of the contracting process

NHS Surrey and Sussex Integrated Care Board commissioned acute healthcare services from Ashford & St Peters Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. The scope covers Commissioner Requested Services, emergency, non-acute, elective and specialised hospital and related services (CPV 85110000). Surrey and Sussex are the primary service area, under a multilateral arrangement involving NHS Thames Valley, Frimley, Hampshire and Isle of Wight, South West London, North West London, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire commissioners, and NHS England. Surrey and Sussex ICB is the coordinating commissioner. The requirement is intended to provide a broad range of hospital care through an NHS foundation trust, including services that the commissioning information identifies as capable of being delivered only by this provider because of their nature.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Ashford & St Peters Hospital NHS Foundation Trust was selected through Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process A, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without a prior call for competition. The award date is 31 July 2026 and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029, with an optional one-year extension. Its lifetime value is £1,549,896,296; the stated annual value for Surrey and Sussex ICB is £387,474,074. The award criterion was price. The arrangement covers one lot, although that lot is marked cancelled while the award and contract remain active.

This award indicates substantial and sustained demand for comprehensive acute healthcare provision from the Surrey and Sussex health system and its associate commissioners. A credible future competitor would need to be an NHS foundation trust or another organisation able to deliver emergency, elective, non-acute, specialised and Commissioner Requested Services at significant scale. It would need the clinical workforce, hospital infrastructure, governance, operational capacity and specialist capabilities required to provide a full acute-services portfolio, rather than a single discrete treatment or support service. Experience of working with integrated care boards and coordinating delivery across multiple commissioning organisations would also be important. The direct-award route and the stated provider-specific rationale indicate that demonstrating distinctive capability and continuity of service would be central to any future challenge.
