The Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is overseeing a procurement process focused on providing additional capacity and resources for the HomeFirst Service in the Surrey Heartlands and Frimley ICSs, aiming to support people, their families, and carers. The procurement falls under the category of community health services and has been managed through the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) as per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract, valued at £108,650, was formally awarded on 28th February 2025.

The service provision period will run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2027, with the location being the UK South East region (UKJ2). The standstill period for representations was from 12th February 2025 to 20th February 2025. This tender offers significant potential for business growth, particularly for organisations specialising in community health services and integrated care delivery.

The awarded contract is to Action for Carers (Surrey), which highlights opportunities for businesses that can provide high-quality community health services. Firms experienced in delivering such services at scale are well-suited to compete in similar future procurements, especially those with an ability to integrate and enhance existing service frameworks. The process favoured providers with no conflicts of interest, and the assessment criteria were evenly weighted, ensuring a fair and balanced evaluation.
