Provision of Integrated Urgent Care (IUC) in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough

The NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Integrated Care Board has issued an urgent modification notice under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 for the continuation of the Provision of Integrated Urgent Care (IUC) services in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. This extension is vital to ensure service continuity while resolving ongoing representations related to the procurement exercise and awaits the mobilisation of any new services. The contract, initially signed in 2016, will extend until 31 March 2026, and falls under the category of health services.

Located in regions UKH11 and UKH12, this modification pertains specifically to the NHS services industry, with the contract value noted at £112,711,081 GBP. The current procurement stage is at the contract award stage, with the service provider being Herts Urgent Care (HUC) Limited. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare service delivery, particularly those capable of handling urgent care requirements.

Companies that demonstrate efficiency in managing large-scale health services would be best suited to compete, as the existing contract allows for continued delivery of essential healthcare services until the newly planned service is mobilised. This could spell substantial growth potential for experienced health service providers aiming to expand their footprint in the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough areas, given the potential for long-term service provision upon successful fulfilment of this urgent modification.
