Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS South West London Integrated Care Board is procuring core community health services in Merton. The requirement is described as community health services and relates to the provision of core community services; no individual service components are set out. Delivery is in Merton, within the London area. The selected provider is Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust, the existing provider. This is a substantial, locally focused healthcare service requirement for organisations able to deliver community-based care for the ICB. The procurement is handled under the Provider Selection Regime for health care services, rather than the Procurement Act 2023.

The process is at intention-to-award stage under the Provider Selection Regime: the notice says the contract has not yet formally been awarded, despite recording an active award and contract. Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust is identified as the selected provider. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and is valued at £56,124,860. Its initial term runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028, with an option to extend for a further year, to 31 March 2029. The route is Direct Award Process C, without a prior competition. Evaluation considered quality and innovation (30%), integration, collaboration and sustainability (20%), access, health inequalities and choice (15%), social value (10%) and value (25%). One bid was recorded. The notice set 4 November 2026 as the deadline for provider representations.

For community healthcare providers, this procurement indicates demand for a large-scale, ongoing core community services offer in Merton, with continuity from an incumbent provider central to the selection. A credible future competitor would need the capacity to sustain local community health provision and demonstrate service quality and innovation, effective integration and collaboration, and sustainable delivery. The evaluation also shows the importance of improving access, reducing health inequalities and supporting patient choice, alongside social value and value for money. Suppliers would be better placed to compete if they can evidence delivery against these outcomes and work effectively with the local health system. The selection of the existing provider through Direct Award Process C shows the significance of incumbent continuity under this route; it does not establish that a future procurement will use the same process.
