This urgent award under the Provider Selection Regime Health Care Services Regulations 2023 fills a critical gap in Norfolk, UKH15, necessitated by the withdrawal of a previous provider. The contract, valued at £144,000, was signed on 3rd June 2026 and will operate from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. This limited procurement method bypassed a call for competition due to the necessity of continuity in essential asylum seeker healthcare services while long-term arrangements are finalised by April 2027. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the delivery of community health services, particularly those experienced in handling urgent and dynamic healthcare demands. Organisations with expertise in proactive and outreach-based primary healthcare, health assessments, and care for vulnerable groups in accommodation settings would be well-positioned to compete. The opportunity is most suitable for entities with the capacity to swiftly provide comprehensive healthcare solutions under constrained timelines, assuring quality and safety while integrating with community services and local GP practices. ## Notice The Asylum Seeker Healthcare Team provides proactive, outreach-based primary healthcare to people seeking asylum and other vulnerable groups residing in dispersal and contingency accommodation. ### Lot Information Lot 1 NHS Norfolk and Suffolk Integrated Care Board are awarding this contract due to an urgent circumstance which is outlined within the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The Asylum Seeker Healthcare Team provides proactive, outreach-based primary healthcare to people seeking asylum and other vulnerable groups residing in dispersal and contingency accommodation. The service delivers comprehensive initial health assessments, vaccination and immunisation support, ongoing clinical care for complex health needs, and timely signposting to appropriate NHS and community services. The team supports early identification of physical and mental health needs, facilitates registration with local GP practices, and works to reduce barriers to accessing mainstream healthcare, helping to prevent avoidable deterioration in health and unplanned use of urgent care.

Decision agreed by the General Practice and Community Pharmacy Delivery Group - 30/3/26 - No conflicts of interest, actual or perceived have been declared. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053919-2026 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 2 Jun 2026 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £144,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS NORFOLK AND SUFFOLK INTEGRATED CARE BOARD | | Locality | NORWICH | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR1 2DH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH5 Norfolk | | ITL 3 | TLH51 Norwich and East Norfolk | | Local authority | Norwich | | Electoral ward | Lakenham | | Westminster constituency | Norwich South | | Delivery location | TLH15 Norwich and East Norfolk | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | NORFOLK PRIMARY CARE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85323000 - Community health services ## Release History - 8 Jun 2026 at 14:53 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053919-2026 ## Notice URLs - https://www.norfolkandsuffolk.icb.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
