Summary of the contracting process

NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board commissioned an extension of the Frailty ACE (F-ACE) service, delivered under the BrisDoc Severnside contract. The service supports admission avoidance. Its hub is co-located with the Severnside Weekday Professional Line so teams can share real-time awareness of F-ACE capacity, hand patients over directly and reduce duplicated work. This is a community health service delivered in the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire area. The requirement is for a coordinated frailty service integrated with an existing urgent care arrangement, rather than a standalone service unrelated to Severnside. The extension aligns F-ACE with the expiry of the wider BrisDoc Severnside contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to BrisDoc Healthcare Services Limited. It was a direct award, justified by the F-ACE hub’s co-location with the Severnside Weekday Professional Line to support real-time capacity awareness, direct handover and reduced duplication. The award date was 13 October 2026. The contract period runs from 13 October 2026 to 31 March 2029. The awarded value is £4,227,676 excluding VAT (£5,073,211.20 including VAT). The published description identifies this as an additional amount added to the existing contract’s lifetime value. There is one lot, covering the service extension. No separate evaluation criteria are stated; the recorded basis for the direct award is operational integration with the existing Severnside service.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible provider would need the ability to deliver frailty-focused community health support aimed at avoiding hospital admission, while working closely with an urgent care service. The selected arrangement depends on practical integration: co-location with the weekday professional line, rapid sharing of capacity information and direct patient handovers, with processes that prevent duplicated activity. Providers would therefore need to demonstrate suitable clinical service capability and the operational capacity to coordinate real-time referrals and transitions alongside an established local service. Experience of delivering comparable frailty or admission-avoidance services in the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire area would be relevant, particularly where continuity with the Severnside service can be achieved. The award shows that the buyer used a direct route because of this integration requirement.
