Summary of the contracting process

NHS North East London Integrated Care Board sought community dermatology services across the organisation’s North East London footprint. The requirement falls within NHS community healthcare and covers dermatology services delivered for the local population. The buying organisation is NHS North East London Integrated Care Board, based in London. Suppliers would need to provide community-based dermatology provision within the geographical area served by the Integrated Care Board, supporting NHS patients outside the acute hospital setting. The procurement was intended to appoint a provider for this clinical service, rather than purchase goods, construction or general consultancy. Its scope is therefore relevant to organisations delivering dermatology assessment and treatment in community healthcare settings, particularly those experienced in working with NHS commissioners and local integrated care services.

The buyer reached the tender stage and invited offers through a competitive Provider Selection Regime process. Following representations received during the standstill period, the authority reviewed the process and concluded that aspects required greater clarity and consistency. It decided to abandon the procurement on 15 June 2026 and did not award a contract. The process was abandoned under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The current procurement therefore does not provide a route to contract award, regardless of a supplier’s ability to deliver the dermatology service. The tender had originally concerned community dermatology for North East London, but the procurement decision means that suppliers cannot now compete for award under this process.

This requirement would have suited established community dermatology providers able to deliver NHS clinical services across North East London. Relevant suppliers would typically include dermatology clinics, NHS organisations, independent healthcare providers and specialist clinical partnerships with the workforce, governance arrangements and operational systems needed to assess and treat patients in community settings. Experience of NHS pathways, referral management, clinical quality requirements and working with an Integrated Care Board would have been directly relevant. However, the procurement was abandoned before a contract was awarded, so these capabilities cannot be used to pursue this opportunity through the process described. Organisations with this service profile may still regard the underlying clinical requirement as relevant to their market activity, but this particular procurement offers no current contracting opportunity.
