UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board is funding delivery of a neighbourhood health development programme focused on frailty. The work is intended to help Integrated Neighbourhood Teams move from design into practical delivery across the Integrated Care Board’s area. It covers building provider capability, testing new ways of working, strengthening neighbourhood coordination, supporting digital and operational enablers, and generating learning for future commissioning. The requirement is for community health services, including provider-led development and mobilisation activity. Delivery covers Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. The programme is linked to future adult community health services recommissioning and development of future multi-neighbourhood provider contracts. It is a single, time-limited service requirement bought by the Integrated Care Board.

The procurement has been awarded by direct award to One Care (BNSSG) C.I.C., under a light-touch services regime. The award date is 15 September 2026, and the award value is £6,583,333 excluding VAT, or £7,900,000 including VAT. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2028, lasting 18 months. Planned deployment is £2,910,000 from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027 and £4,990,000 from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028. The award follows a rationale concerning extension or partial replacement of existing services where changing supplier would create incompatibility and disproportionate technical difficulties. A voluntary standstill runs from 16 to 25 September 2026, with contract signature scheduled by 29 September 2026.

This award indicates demand for suppliers able to mobilise and develop frailty-focused community health services across a broad integrated-care footprint. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to demonstrate practical experience moving Integrated Neighbourhood Teams from service design into delivery, alongside the capacity to coordinate providers and work within a wider health and care system. Relevant capability includes building provider maturity, testing new operating models, improving neighbourhood coordination, and delivering digital and operational support. The requirement also favours organisations able to generate structured learning that can inform later commissioning and larger multi-neighbourhood provider arrangements. Experience of working with NHS commissioners, managing development funding, delivering community health outcomes and collaborating across local partners would strengthen a supplier’s position.

Notice Information

Notice Title

BNSSG Neighbourhood Health Development Fund Delivery

Notice Description

A time-limited development and mobilisation fund to enable frailty-focused Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs) to move from design into practical delivery across the BNSSG ICB footprint. A design framework describing the requirements, outcomes and milestones has been developed. The fund will be used to build provider capability, test new ways of working, strengthen neighbourhood coordination, support digital and operational enablers, and generate learning to inform future compliant commissioning decisions, including the longer-term Adult Community Health Services recommissioning and future Multi Neighbourhood Provider contract development. The contract will be time limited to a period of 18-months for the period 1st October 2026 - 31st March 2028. The total lifetime value of the contract is PS7,900,000. Proposed deployment is PS2,910,000 for 01/10/26 - 31/03/2027 and PS4,990,000 for 01/04/27 - 31/03/2028. Issuing of this Transparency Notice will now instigate a voluntary standstill period which will not be less than eight-working days, 16/09/2026 - 25/09/2026 (the Standstill Period). A contract will only be signed after satisfactory completion of the standstill period.

Procurement Information

BNSSG ICB has held PS7.9 million previously allocated to the discontinued Integrated Care at Home procurement. In December 2025, the Executive Team agreed that the resource should instead support partners to design, test and prepare for neighbourhood delivery, following concerns about provider maturity and market readiness. A three-phase, provider-led and system-supported process was coordinated through the Neighbourhood Health Programme Group, with the System Executive Group acting as programme board. The Direct Award Justification under schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023 is: The public contract concerns the supply of goods, services or works by the existing supplier which are intended as an extension to, or partial replacement of, existing goods, services or works in circumstances where- (a) a change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving goods, services or works that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing goods, services or works, and (b) the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance.
