Tender description
In line with the Government’s 10 Year Health Plan for England, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), working with NHS England, is exploring outcomes‑based approaches that enable new partnerships to address health‑related economic inactivity and support sustained employment for people with health conditions. This early market engagement seeks to gather views from potential investors and service providers on the feasibility, attractiveness, and design of proposed Health and Growth outcomes‑based contracts, ahead of any potential future formal market activity.

About the buyer
The Department of Health and Social Care sets health and social care policy for England, and buys as a central healthcare organisation through contracts tiered by value. Suppliers register on Atamis, the department's e-tendering portal, to see live opportunities. Larger contracts also appear on Find a Tender once government thresholds are passed. Much of this procurement flows through framework agreements and the Crown Commercial Service. Every contract carries a 30-day payment term under the Procurement Act 2023.
UK health spending has nearly quadrupled to £241.8bn in 2024/25, £20bn up on the year before. £140.6bn of that went to procurement, the biggest sector of UK public spending and the fastest-growing.
Over the past 5 years, most of the Department of Health and Social Care's contract awards have been in business services, IT services and health and social work.
