AWARD OUTCOME
What happened
NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board published a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) contract award notice for consultant-led dermatology services. The notice identifies The Nottingham Road Clinic as supplier, but its identity remains unverified because a completed Companies House matching workflow found no safe match. The record contains conflicting lifecycle signals: the award and contract are active, while the only lot is cancelled.
Published outcomeThe notice reports an active award and active contract, with a contract record dated as signed on 9 January 2026. Service delivery is stated as 23 September 2026 to 31 December 2028. This should be treated as a published award/contract record; the cancelled lot status creates uncertainty over the underlying lot lifecycle.
Market significanceThis is an existing-provider, activity-based dermatology service arrangement under PSR Direct Award Process B. No competitive bid count, pricing structure, or substantive contract value is published.
