Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, situated in Sunderland, United Kingdom, is overseeing the procurement process for the "QHM-2024-7117 Vocare Antivirals" under the industry category of miscellaneous health services. As of 28 August 2025, a contract award notice has been confirmed under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Health Care Services Regulations 2023, exempt from the Procurement Act 2023. This direct award process falls within the 'services' procurement category, with a contract valued at £4,210 set to commence on 1 April 2025 and end on 31 March 2026.

This tender exemplifies significant business growth opportunities for firms within the healthcare services sector, especially those specialising in antiviral solutions. Companies like Vocare Ltd, already involved in service provision, were emphasised in this procurement due to their past performance fulfilments. The process utilised a limited procurement method, ensuring competitive stakeholders well-versed in the provider selection criteria are poised to engage in similar future opportunities. Businesses with a strategic focus on leveraging regulatory frameworks and exceptional delivery standards could maximise growth through participation in such non-competitive awards.
