## Summary

NHS Surrey and Sussex Integrated Care Board has modified its contract for primary care medical practice services in Whitehawk, East Brighton. The service is the Whitehawk Practice Alternative Provider Medical Service, supporting local patients. The modification continues delivery of the existing service while a provider selection process for the longer-term arrangement is undertaken. The stated purpose is to maintain continuity of patient care and avoid disruption. The scope of services is unchanged by the modification; it extends the existing arrangement rather than introducing a different service. The work is delivered in Whitehawk, East Brighton.

The contract modification has been awarded to Wellsbourne Healthcare CIC. The award is active, and the contract is active. The modification takes effect on 1 September 2026 and adds £1,520,413.80 to the contract’s lifetime value; the recorded contract value is £11,452,865.20. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and has a 360-day period, described as a 12-month term. The modification is made under the urgent-circumstances provision of the NHS Provider Selection Regime 2023, to maintain patient services while the longer-term provider selection process is undertaken. The stated justification is that appointing an alternative provider would risk disruption to care; the authority considers the modification a proportionate way to maintain continuity, patient safety and value for money. The service scope remains unchanged.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible provider would need to deliver established primary care services to patients in Whitehawk, East Brighton, with the operational capacity to maintain continuity during any transition between arrangements. The buyer’s decision shows that continuity of local patient care, patient safety and value for money were central considerations when extending the service urgently. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate reliable service delivery in a community primary care setting and manage the risk of disruption if a provider changes. The existing supplier, Wellsbourne Healthcare CIC, is based at Wellsbourne Health Centre in Whitehawk. The contract modification preserves the existing service rather than changing its scope, so relevant experience would be in delivering this specific type of medical practice service for the local patient population.
