Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Bishops Close Medical Practice - Enhanced Services Contract" is being managed by the NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board. This tender falls under the services category and specifically relates to medical practice services, classified under the CPV code 85121000. The procurement process has progressed to the award stage, with the contract formalised on 14th October 2025. The contract, which operates on a direct award basis without prior publication, is active from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The contract covers the region of Sunderland, UK, and was executed according to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procedure did not require a traditional competitive bidding process as it was not within the scope of EU directive requirements, per the PSR regulations.

This tender offers potential growth opportunities for businesses engaged in providing high-quality medical practice services, particularly those with experience in activity-based service contracts, as there is no guaranteed contract value outlined. Large-scale service providers, such as those able to handle the delivery of comprehensive health care services, may benefit from engaging in such contracts. Organisations aiming to expand their offerings within the healthcare sector, particularly in the North East and North Cumbria regions, would find this contract appealing as it lays the groundwork for increased involvement in public health service delivery under the NHS banner.
