Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is conducting a procurement for optician services, specifically optometry services, under the title "QHM-2025-9685 EGE Hall." This process falls within the healthcare services industry category and takes place in Sunderland within the UKC region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage has reached its conclusion with the award of the contract. Originally published as an intention to award notice on 4th August 2025, the contract became effective from 1st April 2025, with an end date set for 31st March 2026. The contract, valued at £2,920, was awarded through a direct award process under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, bypassing the traditional call for competition.
