Enhanced Primary Care Services (Nottingham City)

The procurement process for Enhanced Primary Care Services in Nottingham City has been initiated by the NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board. The focus of this tender is on health services, specifically the delivery of a scheme that includes ear irrigation, ECG monitoring, phlebotomy for ages 12+, among others. The procurement falls under a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and has been awarded through a direct award process without prior competition.

The services will be provided from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2027, with a contract value of approximately £794,898. The formal contract award has been announced at the tender update stage on 17 July 2025. This tender presents lucrative opportunities for healthcare service providers, particularly those specializing in primary care and outpatient services.

Businesses with experience in managing treatment for minor injuries, conducting ECGs, and providing domiciliary phlebotomy services would be well-suited for competing in this tender. The NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board might prefer providers that can demonstrate an existing satisfaction of original contracts and a capacity to meet the required standards, thus fostering growth for organisations that adapt to these criteria. These opportunities could be especially appealing to organisations with a large scale, such as the Nottingham City GP Alliance, which has been involved as a potential supplier and represents a model for potential competitors.
