The centre will treat patients with minor illnesses who are directed there by University Hospital Southampton staff. The service will operate for 12 hours each day and is classified as general-practitioner services. Delivery is in the South East of England, with the buying organisation based in Southampton. This is a healthcare service opportunity for providers able to supply and manage general-practitioner-led urgent treatment, coordinate with hospital emergency department teams and handle patient referrals within an NHS hospital setting. The requirement is categorised as a service rather than goods or works, and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement reached the tender stage: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline set by the buyer was 1 September 2026 at 18:00 UK time. The contract is scheduled to run from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2029. The published contract value is £2,250,000. The requirement describes a three-year service with two extension options. Bidders should therefore assess their ability to provide continuity across the initial term and any extensions. The opportunity is a single clinical service requirement rather than a stated multi-lot procurement. The service is for 12-hour daily operation of the Urgent Treatment Centre, with patients directed by University Hospital Southampton staff for minor-illness treatment alongside emergency department clinicians. This opportunity suits GP practices, primary-care providers and other clinical service organisations able to manage an urgent treatment service within an NHS hospital environment. Relevant capability includes providing qualified general practitioners, organising daily clinical coverage for a 12-hour operating pattern, assessing and treating patients with minor illnesses, and working safely alongside emergency department clinicians. Providers should be able to accept and act on patient direction from hospital staff, maintain coordinated clinical workflows and manage the service as an integrated part of urgent care. The requirement is marked as suitable for SMEs, so a smaller established healthcare provider may be well placed to compete if it can demonstrate reliable staffing, operational management and experience delivering GP-led or urgent treatment services at the required scale. ## Notice GP managed service to operate and run the Urgent Treatment Centre alongside UHS ED Clinicians. UTC will operate 12 hours a day with patients directed by UHS staff for the treatment of minor illness. Three year + 2 extension options. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/774434d8-54e1-4da5-ac6c-def808c834fd | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 1 Sep 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Nov 2026 - 1 Nov 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,250,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust | | Locality | SOUTHAMPTON | | Postcode area | Southampton | | Postcode | SO16 6YD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ32 Southampton | | Local authority | Southampton | | Electoral ward | Shirley | | Westminster constituency | Southampton Test | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85121100 - General-practitioner services ## Release History - 12 Aug 2026 at 17:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/774434d8-54e1-4da5-ac6c-def808c834fd ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/774434d8-54e1-4da5-ac6c-def808c834fd 12th August 2026 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/respondToList.html?noticeId=1058120776 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
