The James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has completed the contracting process for the in-sourcing provision of a GP Front Door Service in its Emergency Department, classified under hospital and related services. The procurement, following the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, was managed through a direct award process without a preceding call for competition. This contract, valued at £946,464, runs from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. Serving the region of Gorleston, Norfolk (UKH15), the contract aims to alleviate pressure on the Emergency Department by redirecting patients to GP-led Primary Care Services.
