We are proud to announce that Norfolk Primary Care (NPC) has been awarded eight specialist lots on the East of England Clinical Diagnostics & Treatment Framework.
This is a significant milestone for us, and a clear signal that locally embedded, not-for-profit providers can lead elective recovery at scale.
What this means
From January 2026, commissioners can directly contract with NPC for elective diagnostics, outpatient procedures and end-to-end managed services across:
• Dermatology
• ENT
• Ophthalmology
• Gastroenterology
• Urology
• Audiology
• Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
• Managed clinical services
The framework runs for 3 years and enables rapid mobilisation of clinics in community or trust settings, including evenings and weekends.
Why NPC is different?
This isn’t episodic insourcing. It’s system-aligned capacity.
✔️ A community interest, not-for-profit model
✔️ Lower overheads than national insourcing firms – with surplus reinvested locally
✔️ Rapid mobilisation within weeks
✔️ Strong clinical governance and digital pathways
✔️ Deeply embedded within the ICS, working with trusts, not around them
Where others offer short-term fixes, NPC builds sustainable elective capacity that strengthens the local system.
What commissioners get
· Immediate elective recovery capacity
· Care delivered closer to home
· Reduced pressure on acute estates
· A single accountable provider for managed pathways where required
· Transparent governance and true partnership
What comes next?
We’re already engaging with ICBs, trusts and system partners to:
➡️ Identify priority pressure points
➡️ Mobilise early “quick-win” clinics
➡️ Scale community-based diagnostic and treatment hubs
This award positions NPC as a credible, accredited elective recovery partner – ready to deliver at pace, at scale, and with purpose.
