This initiative falls within the community health services category and adheres to the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulation 2023. Interested businesses must submit their tenders by 12 noon on 20th July 2026. The procurement is conducted via an open procedure and requires tender submissions to be made electronically. Located in the UKH23 region, primarily Stevenage, the procurement is currently at the tender stage, with a contract award scheduled to commence soon after the closing date. This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in community health services, particularly those familiar with service delivery within local council regulations. Companies with expertise in providing health services and able to adhere to technical and economic selection criteria specified in the procurement documents are well-suited to compete. The contract spans a core period of three years with additional options for extension, opening avenues for long-term partnerships with the council.

The Council reserves the right at any time to cease the procurement process and not award a Contract or to award only part of the opportunity described in this notice. If the Council takes up this right, then they will not be responsible for or pay the expenses or losses, which may be incurred by any organisation or tenderer as a result. In February 2025 the UK Government formally invited Hertfordshire County Council (the "Council") and the various district and borough Councils of Hertfordshire (see attached - District and borough councils | Hertfordshire County Council) to develop proposals for local government reorganisation in Hertfordshire which is likely to result in the current two-tier system of local government being reorganised into a single tier of local government with one or more unitary councils for the whole of the Hertfordshire area. If implemented, local government reorganisation is currently expected to take effect in April 2028 and, on that date, the existing two-tier councils will be dissolved and replaced by one or more new unitary authorities. Existing contracts held by the Council and the district and borough Councils of Hertfordshire are expected to transfer to their successor authorities on vesting day in accordance with the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 and the Local Government (Structural Changes) (Transfer of Functions, Property, Rights and Liabilities) Regulations 2008. These reforms will be subject to a decision of the Secretary of State and could be subject to change at any time. As these reforms may occur during the term of this contract and result in changes to the form, structure, size and shape of local government in Hertfordshire, they are a known risk to the Council within the meaning of paragraph 6, Schedule 8 of the Procurement Act 2023 (Act) in that the reforms could jeopardise the satisfactory performance of the contract but because the nature and extent of the reforms are presently unknown, it is not possible to address the risks in the contract. If these risks materialise, the contract may need to be modified under paragraph 5 of Schedule 8 of the Act. Such modification could include, but not be limited to, the need to replace the contracting authority with a successor public authority and/or vary the structure, scope, nature and/or geographical location/boundary within which the contract is delivered. Tenderers should note that any variation(s) to the terms and conditions of the contract will be made in accordance with its terms. Options: The core Contract Period is 3 years, with the option to extend for up to [2 (1+1)] further years. Renewal: The Council will review its options towards the end of the Contract period. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/058179-2026 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | 20 Jul 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | £225,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HERTFORDSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | STEVENAGE | | Post town | Stevenage | | Postcode | SG1 2FQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH26 North and East Hertfordshire | | Local authority | Stevenage | | Electoral ward | Symonds Green | | Westminster constituency | Stevenage | | Delivery location | TLH23 Hertfordshire CC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85323000 - Community health services ## Release History - 19 Jun 2026 at 13:55 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/058179-2026 ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/supplyhertfordshire - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/supplyhertfordshire/aspx/Home ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
