Summary of the contracting process

NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board is buying routine elective secondary-care fertility services. The work covers licensed fertility treatment and, where appropriate, the patient pathway from referral, triage and clinical assessment through diagnostics, consultation and preparation for treatment. Treatment may be outpatient, ambulatory or inpatient. Providers are also expected to support discharge planning and provide specialist follow-up, including referrals to other services and self-care guidance for up to 14 days after discharge. The service is for patients in the Bristol area. Gloucestershire ICB is working with the buyer in a formal clustering arrangement ahead of a planned organisational merger. The requirement is a clinical service rather than a purchase of equipment or construction work.

The process is complete and the contract was awarded to CRGH Ltd. It was formally awarded through Direct Award Process B under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without a prior competition. The award date was not published. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with no extension provision. Its activity-based value is £0.01 in the published contract data, while the lot description says there is no guaranteed contract value. Patient choice was the sole stated evaluation criterion, weighted at 100%; price was weighted at 0%. One bid was recorded. The lot status is marked cancelled, although the award and contract are both recorded as active.

This award shows demand for licensed fertility care within the ICB’s routine elective secondary-care pathway, including the associated assessment, treatment, discharge and short-term follow-up. A credible provider would need to deliver licensed fertility services and manage a joined-up patient journey across relevant clinical stages and treatment settings. Capacity to assess and prepare patients, provide outpatient, ambulatory or inpatient care where appropriate, plan safe discharge and coordinate onward referrals is directly relevant. Follow-up support and self-care guidance for up to 14 days are also part of the described service. The buyer selected CRGH Ltd through the Provider Selection Regime’s Direct Award Process B, with patient choice carrying all stated evaluation weight and price none. Providers serving patients in the Bristol area should note this service model and selection basis when considering comparable future requirements from this buyer.
