Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England procured continuation of the Primary Care Gambling Service, a health service supporting people affected by gambling harms within primary care. The service is intended to maintain stability across the wider gambling treatment system, including management of risk across that system and support for a large active patient caseload. The requirement sits within wider work to design the future gambling harms treatment system and supports continuity before longer-term commissioning arrangements are implemented. The buying organisation is NHS England. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. This is a specialist healthcare and gambling-treatment requirement rather than a general primary care, counselling or information service. Organisations relevant to this opportunity are those able to provide primary-care-based gambling treatment and manage associated patient and system risks at national scale.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. NHS England used the Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process A, described as an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, rather than an open competition. The award was made to Hurley Clinic Partnership, known as the Hurley Group, on 10 July 2026. The contract value is £3,219,164 GBP. The service was due to commence on 1 April 2026. The procurement was evaluated on price and classified as miscellaneous health services (CPV 85140000). It comprised one lot, recorded as cancelled, while the associated award is active. One bid was recorded. The award rationale cites the need to maintain stability because of the active patient caseload and the service’s role in managing risk, alongside administrative and operational delays.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates NHS England’s demand for specialist gambling-harm treatment delivered through primary care and at substantial service scale. A credible future competitor would need an established clinical model for supporting people affected by gambling harms, the capacity to manage a large active caseload, and the ability to identify and manage patient risk consistently across the wider treatment system. It would also need to provide continuity and operational stability while public services are redesigned, rather than offering an isolated or small-scale intervention. Relevant experience of NHS healthcare delivery, partnership working across treatment services and the Provider Selection Regime would strengthen credibility. The successful supplier was a large organisation, indicating the operational capacity expected for this requirement.
