Summary of the contracting process

North of England NHS Commercial Procurement Collaborative, operated by Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, intends to establish a framework for digitally enabled virtual ward and hospital-at-home healthcare services. The scope includes remote patient monitoring, associated technologies and managed services, allowing patients of all ages to receive acute care safely at home or in care homes. Services may cover home medical treatment, community and hospital care, nursing, medical personnel, laboratory services, medical imaging, pathology, oxygen therapy, cardiology, pulmonary medicine, geriatric and paediatric care, physiotherapy and rehabilitation. The work is intended for delivery across the United Kingdom and is classified as healthcare services.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced its intention to procure, but has not invited tenders. It is expected to use an open procedure to establish a framework agreement. The planned arrangement is one lot, with a contract period expected to run from 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2031. The buyer expects the next procurement notice to be published on 1 February 2027. The estimated value is £100 million excluding VAT, or £120 million including VAT, and the procurement is above the relevant threshold. The planned lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The planned framework should suit healthcare providers, technology companies and managed-service organisations able to combine clinical delivery with digital systems for care outside hospital. Relevant capability includes remote patient monitoring, home-based acute care, community healthcare, nursing and multidisciplinary clinical support, together with technologies and services that can support patients in their usual residence or a care home. Providers with specialist services such as diagnostics, pathology, imaging, oxygen therapy, cardiology, respiratory care, paediatrics, geriatrics, physiotherapy or rehabilitation may also be relevant. The buyer has indicated that small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises are suitable participants. Interested suppliers can use the planning period to assess partnerships, clinical capacity, technology integration and service coverage before the procurement reaches the market.
