Interim Accommodation Services for Refugees, Asylum Seekers and Migrants (Primary Care)

NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board is undertaking a procurement process for the provision of Interim Accommodation Services for Refugees, Asylum Seekers, and Migrants, focusing on primary care. This service is to be provided across Leeds, Bradford District, and Craven Places. The procurement falls under the health services category (CPV code 85100000).

The procurement uses the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) under Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and bypasses the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. 00, spanning from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2027. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses experienced in providing health services to migrant communities, especially those currently servicing similar contracts.

Given the nature of the procurement, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and community interest companies (CICs) operating within the health sector, particularly those with a track record in managing accommodations and primary care for vulnerable groups, would be well-positioned to compete. The existing contractor, Bevan Healthcare CIC, highlights the importance of proven capability and experience in similar contexts, making it an attractive option for well-qualified businesses seeking to grow through public sector contracts.
