Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board (ICB) has initiated a Direct Award process to contract for a GP Advice and Guidance Service. The contract, classified under 'Miscellaneous health services' (CPV code: 85140000), will facilitate access for GPs in East Staffordshire and South East GP Practices to a network of Secondary Care consultants for patient triage and onward referral. Commencing on 15th October 2024 and concluding on 30th September 2025, the contract is valued at approximately £86,000. This procurement follows a limited Direct Award C PSR process, aligning with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and does not exceed the permissible criteria for contract modifications.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating within the health services industry, especially those specialising in consultancy and patient referral services. Suitable candidates include incumbent providers adept at maintaining and extending current services without substantial changes. The streamlined procurement method indicates a preference for vendors with proven records of compliance and performance, thereby making this an attractive prospect for established SMEs looking to consolidate their market position within the healthcare advisory domain. Additionally, local businesses based in or capable of servicing the East Staffordshire and South East regions could benefit immensely from this contract, potentially leading to long-term collaborations with NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent ICB.
