Summary of the contracting process

The North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board (NENC ICB) is awarding a contract to South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for acute and community health services. This procurement, under the Direct Award Process A of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023, bypasses the usual Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract, valued at approximately £2.05 billion, includes services in the health sector, spanning acute, mental health, and emergency ambulance services. The service provision is set to begin on 1st April 2024 and may extend until 31st March 2029, including a potential two-year extension. Key decision-makers include several executives and non-executive directors within the NENC ICB, and the procurement method employed is limited, with no prior publication of a call for competition.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for growth for businesses specialising in healthcare services, especially those with expertise in acute and community health services. Given the significant contract value and the extensive period of service provision, it is a lucrative opportunity for capable providers who can meet the stringent national NHS planning guidance. Large-scale health service providers, particularly those with established facilities and a robust organisational structure, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The contract ensures a steady stream of income over several years, fostering stability and long-term business growth in the healthcare sector.
