Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board commissioned Community Nursing in Education Settings (CNIES) for children and young people with complex physical health needs. The service supports the ICB cluster’s community nursing model by working in partnership with education settings, helping pupils take an active part in school life and achieve their academic potential. This is a health service delivered across the ICB cluster footprint in Derbyshire. The requirement combines community nursing with collaboration in education settings and support tailored to children’s complex physical health needs.

The procurement is recorded as complete and an award has been made to NurtureCare Ltd. The contract is active and was signed on 17 August 2026. Its value is £2,010,000, with services intended to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029. The buyer used the Provider Selection Regime’s most suitable provider process, through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition. The stated evaluation gave 20% each to integration and collaboration, quality, safety and clinical governance, and workforce, training and deliverability; 15% each to improved outcomes and experience for children and young people, and continuity, mobilisation and sustainability; and 10% to value. The process had one bid. An intention-to-award notice described a standstill and representations deadline of 20 October 2026.

For providers considering a future requirement from this ICB, the award demonstrates demand for community nursing integrated with education settings, specifically for children and young people with complex physical health needs. A credible provider would need to work effectively with schools and other education settings, deliver safe, well-governed clinical care, and demonstrate a trained workforce capable of delivering the service across the ICB cluster. The evaluation placed equal emphasis on partnership working, clinical quality and safety, and workforce and deliverability. Evidence of improved outcomes and pupil experience, continuity of care, effective mobilisation and service sustainability would also matter, alongside value. The successful supplier was NurtureCare Ltd; the process received one bid, indicating a narrow competitive field in this procurement, though not establishing the level of competition in any future process.
