Summary of the contracting process

NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board is procuring a Tier 3 community dermatology service for patients across Greater Manchester. The service is intended to provide local, integrated and patient-centred care closer to patients’ homes, including timely advice, assessment, diagnosis and treatment. This is a community-based healthcare service, rather than a supply of goods or construction work. The delivery area is the Greater Manchester conurbation. The specification and invitation documents describe the service requirements and are accessible through SAP Ariba. The procurement is being conducted under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services.

The buyer invited offers through a competitive, open procedure under the Provider Selection Regime. The process reached tender stage; the final submission deadline was 6 November 2026 at 12:00 noon, following amendments to earlier dates. The stated bid opening was 6 November 2026 at 1:00 pm. The contract has an initial three-year term, expected to commence on 1 April 2027, with an option for the authority to extend it by up to two years. The estimated value is £26,975,375.25 for the initial term and £17,983,583.50 for the extension, with a maximum total value of £44,958,958.75 including extensions. There is one lot. Supplier suitability and economic standing are assessed using the Basic Selection Questionnaire; variants are not allowed.

This opportunity is suited to healthcare providers with the clinical capability and operational capacity to deliver community dermatology across Greater Manchester. The service calls for timely patient advice, assessment, diagnosis and treatment, delivered through an integrated, patient-centred model close to where people live. Providers will need to demonstrate suitability and economic standing through the buyer’s Basic Selection Questionnaire. The breadth of the delivery area and the multi-year service term favour organisations able to sustain local service provision and coordinate care across the conurbation. The procurement is specifically for a community Tier 3 dermatology service; suppliers whose expertise is limited to unrelated medical specialties, goods supply or facilities work are unlikely to be relevant. The detailed specification and selection questionnaire set out the operational requirements.
