Summary of the contracting process

NHS Norfolk and Suffolk Integrated Care Board commissioned adult community and specialist palliative care services from East Coast Community Healthcare CIC. The requirement covers community-based health services delivered through an integrated model in Great Yarmouth and Waveney. It includes additional staffing for Integrated Neighbourhood Teams: one Health Connector and two Integrated Neighbourhood Team Leads. East Coast Community Healthcare will manage these posts while contributing to the wider integrated delivery model. The procurement is categorised as hospital and related services, with the contracted service classified more broadly as health services. The work is relevant to providers of community healthcare, specialist palliative care, neighbourhood health services and integrated care workforce delivery.

This procurement has been awarded to East Coast Community Healthcare CIC by NHS Norfolk and Suffolk Integrated Care Board. It was conducted as a tender and comprised one lot. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and has a value of £270,516,609. The lot’s stated contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, while the contract record describes a duration of 180 days. The additional posts take effect from the recruitment start date for each role and end on 31 March 2027. A contract amendment added the Health Connector and two Integrated Neighbourhood Team Leads to support Integrated Neighbourhood Team development in Great Yarmouth and Waveney.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need established adult community healthcare and specialist palliative care capability, with the capacity to operate as part of an integrated neighbourhood model. The awarded arrangement indicates a need for organisations that can manage community-based support, contribute proactively to neighbourhood health development and provide suitably capable leadership and connector roles. Relevant experience would include coordinating multidisciplinary or cross-organisational services, supporting population-based care and integrating staff into existing local health structures. Providers should be able to demonstrate sufficient operational scale to manage a substantial health services arrangement while maintaining effective delivery across Great Yarmouth and Waveney.
