NHSWYICB - Planned Healthcare Capacity Support

The NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (NHSWYICB) has completed a procurement process for Planned Healthcare Capacity Support services, specifically within the regions of Calderdale, Bradford, Kirklees, Wakefield, and Leeds. This procurement falls under the health services category with the Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) code 85100000, focusing on hospital services. The process was conducted under the new Provider Selection Regime (PSR), differing from the standard Public Contracts Regulations.

The procurement method employed was a limited, direct award without prior competition, targeting an existing provider to ensure the safe exit of services. The contract, amounting to £2,500,000, was signed on 7th July 2025, after the PSR intentions were published on 7th July 2025, with the standstill period concluding on 17th July 2025.

The contract supports continuity and quality in patient care, giving substantial room for growth, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in integrated healthcare solutions. By aligning with existing service expectations, there are cost efficiency and reputation enhancement benefits available, reinforcing their stature in the public health domain.
