Same Day Access in Primary Care for Leicestershire County

The NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Commissioning Board (LLR ICB) is in the planning stage of commissioning a GP-led Same Day Access Service for registered patients in Leicestershire County. This service focuses on delivering primary healthcare during evenings and weekends in specified locations across East Leicestershire, North West Leicestershire, Hinckley & Bosworth, and Charnwood. The intention to award these contracts follows the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, tailored to exclude the Procurement Act 2023.

The total contract value is approximately £1,706,496, distributed across four geographical lots, with the service delivery period set from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. Stakeholders interested in making representations must do so by 23:59 on 22nd December 2025. This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, primarily in the healthcare delivery sector.

Organisations adept in integrating services, addressing inequalities, and generating social value will find this tender appealing. SMEs and large healthcare providers with the capability to deliver seamless healthcare services in collaboration with GP practices, NHS 111, and clinical navigation services can potentially benefit from this tender. The procurement method is limited, with a focus on awarding contracts to the most suitable providers without prior publicity, which streamlines the selection process based on predefined key criteria, such as integration and accessibility, boosting the potential for local healthcare businesses to expand their service offerings.
