Asylum Seeker & Refugee Primary Care Services - Initial Accommodation Centre [Urgent Award]

NHS Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board is overseeing the procurement process for two public tenders related to health services for asylum seekers. The first tender, in the award stage, involves an urgent contract for Primary Care Services at the Initial Accommodation Centre for asylum seekers and refugees. This contract was awarded to Primary Care Partners Limited to ensure continuity of services and address immediate safety and healthcare needs from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, with a total value of £101,000.

Meanwhile, the second procurement is in the planning stage and seeks to gather market intelligence for the provision of initial health services for asylum seekers in Coventry. This early engagement exercise invites expressions of interest by 27th February 2025, with an estimated contract value of £100,908. These tenders present significant opportunities for businesses operating within the healthcare sector, specifically those with experience in providing specialist health services to vulnerable populations.

The first contract guarantees a fixed period of service provision and stability, beneficial for large health service providers such as Primary Care Partners Limited. The second opportunity allows businesses to shape future procurement through feedback and engagement, ideal for current healthcare providers who are CQC-registered and can demonstrate a capacity for onsite service delivery. This process is designed to mitigate risks and ensure quality care, opening doors for businesses adept in managing health services within asylum seeker communities.
