Provision of Dermatology and ENT Services

The contract for the provision of Dermatology and ENT Services has been awarded by the NHS Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board, located in Gloucestershire, UK (region UKK13). This award is part of a Healthcare Services contracting process under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023. The procurement method employed was a limited process, specifically a direct award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, reflecting that this procurement falls outside the scope of the standard directive.

The contract, valued nominally at £0.01, will commence on 1 September 2025 and run for a period of three years. The procurement falls under the services industry category with an emphasis on health services (CPV code 85100000), and the main procurement stage has been completed as of 22 July 2025. This tender represents an opportunity for businesses within the health services domain, particularly those specialising in dermatology and ENT services, to establish or expand their involvement with NHS entities.

As the procurement process favoured a provider selection under streamlined regulations, businesses capable of delivering quality healthcare services efficiently stand to benefit. Although the contract does not guarantee activity, its flexible structure allows the awarded supplier, Modality LLP, an SME, to scale their operations based on service delivery and patient demand. This can foster growth through increased service provision aligned with NHS national tariffs, ensuring both competitiveness and potential expansion within the public healthcare sector.
