Summary, notice description and lot information
The NHS Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for dermatology services in the Surrey Downs region. The process was conducted under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), specifically the Direct Award Process C, as per the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. This contract, valued at approximately £250,000 over two years, was awarded to Surrey Medical Network Ltd, who effectively fulfilled previous contractual expectations.
The contract was approved on 22 October 2024, and covers a period from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2026. The procurement method was limited, without prior publication of a call for competition, to ensure continuity and high-quality service delivery. This tender offers growth opportunities for healthcare providers specialising in community-based and value-driven service delivery.
Businesses equipped with expertise in delivering cost-effective and high-quality dermatology services will find this contract beneficial. Additionally, organisations capable of collaborative work with local GP champions and community providers will have a competitive advantage. The contract is ideal for providers who can enhance access, reduce health inequalities, and align services with NHS sustainability and social value goals.
The emphasis on integrated care and capacity-building within primary care settings underlines a strong focus on innovative service models that meet community healthcare needs effectively.
The dermatology service provider operating within Surrey Downs is delivering a robust, patient-focused model of care that meets all key evaluation criteria satisfactorily. Through innovative service design, strategic investment, and collaborative working, the provider is achieving meaningful outcomes across quality, value, integration, access, and social impact. The dermatology clinic model developed collaboratively by the Commissioner and Community Providers, has significantly enhanced service delivery. Led by GP Champions and hosted in community settings, this model improves local access to dermatology expertise and ensures patients are triaged effectively. It also strengthens the clinical capabilities of primary care teams by reducing unnecessary referrals to secondary care. This results in more timely, appropriate care and a better overall patient experience. Dermatology referrals have shown a consistent year-on-year increase, with a forecast of an 8% growth in dermatology activity. The Step-Up Clinic approach allows benign and low-risk conditions to be managed locally, freeing up hospital resources for complex cases. This model supports value-based healthcare, reduces secondary care costs, and aligns services with population health priorities. The approximate lifetime value of the contract will be PS250,000 over the 2 year term, from 1st April 2024 until 31st March 2026.
