Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is procuring a GP-managed clinical service to operate and run an Urgent Treatment Centre alongside the Trust’s emergency department clinicians. The centre will provide treatment for patients with minor illness, operating for 12 hours each day, with patients directed to it by University Hospital Southampton staff. This is a healthcare services requirement, classified under general-practitioner services. Delivery is in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The successful provider will be responsible for the day-to-day operation of the centre and for working as part of the wider clinical service alongside NHS emergency department staff. The requirement is identified as potentially suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, subject to meeting the procurement’s selection criteria.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an accelerated open procedure under the Provider Selection Regime. Bids were to be submitted in writing in English, with no variants permitted; a fee applied for access to the documents. The deadline for submissions was 1 September 2026 at 18:00 BST. Bid opening and the start of the stated award period were scheduled for 2 September 2026 at 09:00 BST. The contract is for 1,080 days, with two optional 12-month extensions, giving a three-year initial term plus extensions. The estimated total value is £2,250,000. The procurement is arranged as one lot and concerns a single clinical service for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

This opportunity suits GP providers and healthcare organisations able to take operational responsibility for an urgent treatment centre serving patients with minor illness. Suppliers will need a clinical workforce capable of providing GP-led care for 12 hours each day, coordinating effectively with the Trust’s emergency department clinicians and following patient direction from University Hospital Southampton staff. Relevant experience in urgent treatment, general practice or comparable NHS clinical service delivery would place a supplier well to compete. The requirement is also identified as potentially suitable for SMEs, so smaller providers with the necessary clinical capability, management arrangements and capacity may be able to bid. The service requires sustained delivery over the initial three-year term and any extensions exercised.
