Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Surrey and Sussex Integrated Care Board commissioned elective acute healthcare services from an independent-sector provider. The work covers hospital and related services for patients in East and West Surrey. The requirement was handled across the ICB, involving contracts, finance, performance and quality functions. The procurement concerns elective care rather than a general hospital supply contract: suppliers would need to deliver the relevant patient-facing acute healthcare services in the named Surrey locations. The selected provider, Dorking Healthcare Ltd, is based in Redhill.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Dorking Healthcare Ltd. The award is active; the contract was signed on 31 March 2026. The stated contract value is £19,692,192, with an initial period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027 and an optional one-year extension to 31 March 2028. The buyer used Direct Award Process B under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, following an ICB-wide procurement process. The award criteria gave 100% weight to quality, citing no realistic alternative provider or patient choice; cost was weighted at 0%. One bid was recorded. The lot is marked cancelled in the tender data, although the associated award and contract are active.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible competitors would need to provide elective acute healthcare services for patients in East and West Surrey and demonstrate a strong quality case. The recorded assessment placed all weight on quality, specifically whether there was a realistic alternative provider and the role of patient choice, rather than price. This points to the importance of showing how a provider can maintain continuity for patients and meet the ICB’s quality and performance expectations. The incumbent was an independent-sector provider, and the notice describes the award as being made to an existing provider. Suppliers should therefore be prepared to evidence relevant healthcare delivery capability, service quality and the ability to operate within the ICB’s commissioning and oversight arrangements.
