Pulmonary Rehabilitation Services, Bexley

NHS South East London Integrated Care Board is progressing to the award stage of its procurement process for Pulmonary Rehabilitation Services in the London Borough of Bexley. This project falls under the community health services industry category, with the contract period set from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2028, with an option to extend until 30th September 2030. The main procurement method is a direct award under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), bypassing the need for prior publication of a call for competition.

Key criteria for evaluation include quality, innovation, value, integration, and social value. The contract's lifetime value is approximately £619,458 for the initial three-year term. Representations must be submitted by 20th March 2025, as this notice marks the start of the standstill period.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in pulmonary rehabilitation and community health services. Companies with expertise in innovative healthcare solutions, value-driven service delivery, and experience in addressing health inequalities will find this contract particularly lucrative. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the healthcare sector can benefit from the stability and continuity implied by the direct award process, providing a potential growth avenue through extended service provision to residents of Bexley.

Respiricare Limited, the current provider, has met the contractual requirements, making it well-suited to continue its services under the proposed terms.
