Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board commissioned acute hospital services, including inpatient care, surgery and Accident and Emergency. Delivery is in the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire area. The requirement covers a broad range of hospital specialties, with confirmed subcontracting in dermatology, trauma and orthopaedics, sleep services, radiology, plastic surgery, gynaecology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, cardiology and echocardiography, ear, nose and throat, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, paediatric surgery and paediatric cardiology. The buyer is the regional NHS integrated care board, and the selected provider is a hospital foundation trust serving Bristol and Weston.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and is active. Its value is £626,966,770. The buyer approved the award in February 2025 under PSR route A, using a limited award procedure without a prior competition. One bid was recorded. Evaluation placed the full weighting on the absence of a realistic alternative provider; price carried no weighting. The procurement was arranged as one lot for acute hospital services. The lot is marked cancelled in the procurement data, while the award and associated contract are active.

This award shows demand from the regional integrated care board for large-scale acute hospital provision spanning inpatient, surgical and emergency services. A credible competitor for this requirement would need the capacity to deliver a wide range of hospital care across the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire area, supported by specialist clinical services. The selected trust’s arrangement includes subcontracting across numerous specialties, so a provider or consortium would need either broad in-house clinical capability or dependable specialist partners. The stated evaluation basis prioritised whether a realistic alternative provider existed, rather than price. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement from this buyer would therefore need to demonstrate that they can provide an effective alternative at regional scale and sustain the breadth of services involved.
