Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, NHS Lincolnshire, and NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Boards are seeking a locally designed early-intervention work and health service. It will support people whose health condition or disability affects their ability to remain in work, return to work, or move towards work. The service is intended to provide low-intensity, personalised support and connect people at an early stage to appropriate health, employment, skills and community provision. It will operate as a system integrator, strengthening local work and health pathways rather than delivering a standalone programme. The work covers Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, and Derby and Derbyshire. The procurement is for health and social work services.

The process has reached tender: the contracting authorities invited interested organisations to take part through a virtual market engagement event and submit feedback using the Atamis eProcurement portal. Registration for the event was required by 11 September 2026 at 17:00. The event was scheduled for 14 September 2026, from 12:00 to 14:00, via Microsoft Teams. The proposed contract period is three years, subject to grant funding, with extensions dependent on additional funding. The estimated total value is £10,000,000 across the three Integrated Care Boards. The authorities indicated that the value may be divided into three territory or Integrated Care Board lots, with the final arrangement to be confirmed at the invitation-to-tender stage. The service model is intended to reduce health-related economic inactivity and improve population health outcomes.

This opportunity suits providers of work and health, employment support, vocational rehabilitation, public health, community support, skills or related services. The authorities are seeking organisations able to design and deliver personalised, low-intensity early intervention for people whose health conditions or disabilities affect their employment prospects. Relevant suppliers should be capable of connecting health, employment, skills and community services, coordinating provision across local systems and helping people remain in work, return to work or progress towards work. The engagement is also intended to test market capacity and capability, identify innovation opportunities and understand potential delivery constraints. Providers with experience of partnership working, pathway integration and supporting people facing health-related barriers to employment are likely to be well placed to contribute.
