AWARD OUTCOME
What happened
NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board published a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) contract award for acute and community hospital healthcare services. The notice names Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust as supplier. Contract data records a £2,226,065,965 GBP contract value and a signature date of 11 March 2026; however, the linked lot is marked cancelled, creating an unresolved status conflict.
Published outcomeThe published award and contract records identify Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust for lot 1. The record should not be treated as an unambiguously active contract because the lot status is cancelled while the award and contract statuses are active.
Market significanceThis is a high-value NHS hospital-services commissioning arrangement using PSR Direct Award Process A, with the notice stating that the provider was considered the only capable provider.
