## Summary

NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board commissioned Tier 3 Community Dermatology services across Greater Manchester. The requirement covers patient assessment, diagnosis and treatment, clinical triage, pathway management and recovery of the dermatology backlog. Its purpose is to maintain continuity of clinically significant dermatology care while a wider competitive procurement is completed, ensuring patients continue to receive treatment. This is a community healthcare service rather than a supply of goods or construction work. The relevant service classification is dermatology services (CPV 85121282). The selected provider is based in Birmingham, while delivery is required across Greater Manchester. The work is therefore suited to healthcare organisations able to provide community-based specialist dermatology pathways at regional scale and work within NHS commissioning arrangements.

The procurement is complete and an urgent award was made without prior publication of a call for competition, using the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs for 12 months, from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £677,204.50. Health Harmonie Limited was awarded the contract as the sole bidder and selected supplier. The published lot is marked cancelled, but the award and contract are active. Evaluation was based on price. The award was made to bridge service continuity while the recommenced competitive procurement is completed.

This award demonstrates established demand from NHS Greater Manchester for a complete community dermatology pathway, not an isolated clinical activity. A credible future competitor would need to deliver Tier 3 specialist care covering assessment, diagnosis, treatment, triage, pathway management and backlog recovery, while maintaining continuity for clinically significant patients. The requirement favours providers with specialist dermatology clinicians, safe referral and triage processes, capacity to manage backlogs, and the operational systems needed to coordinate pathways across Greater Manchester. Experience of delivering community healthcare services and working with NHS commissioners would strengthen a supplier’s position. The award to an SME indicates that this requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist provider, provided it has sufficient clinical governance, workforce and regional delivery capability.
