SEL ICB - 111 IUC Contract (Urgent Modification)

The NHS South East London Integrated Care Board has issued a contract modification notice under the Provider Selection Regime for its 111 Integrated Urgent Care Contract, primarily involving health services. The contract, managed by the London Ambulance Service NHS Trust, has been modified for a one-year extension from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, due to urgent circumstances. The extension aims to provide adequate time for the completion and mobilisation of a forthcoming competitive process, necessitated by delays in national guidance publication.

The original contract was awarded in 2019, and the current modification caters to the health service needs in the London area (region UKI). This procurement process operates outside the usual Public Contracts Regulations 2015, adhering instead to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This tender represents substantial prospects for service providers within the healthcare industry, particularly those specialising in integrated care services.

By participating, businesses have the chance to engage with a significant public sector client and gain visibility within the National Health Service framework. Organisations well-suited to seize this opportunity should ideally have prior experience in delivering large-scale healthcare services, with robust capabilities for rapid deployment and adaptability to changing regulatory environments. Furthermore, the tender could allow businesses to align themselves with future enhancements in the Integrated Urgent Care services, paving the way for sustained business growth within the expanding healthcare sector.
