Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is finalising a procurement process titled "QHM-2025-6845 Barnard Castle Surgery - Enhanced Services Contract", falling under the health services industry category. The procurement covers the delivery of services such as DVT Pathway and Enhanced Community Gynaecology, situated in the UKC region. The process reached the award stage on 1 October 2025, under the Direct Award Process A as per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023. Notably, the contract was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition, reflecting a limited procurement method rationale citing no realistic alternative providers. The contract commenced on 1 April 2025 and is set to conclude on 31 March 2026, though services have been ongoing on an implied basis.

This tender presents substantial business growth potential for health service providers capable of delivering specialised care in areas such as community gynaecology and intermediate care. While the contract value is indicated to be an activity-based agreement with a nominal stated value, it aligns with ongoing service provision by existing providers like Barnard Castle Surgery. The procurement's limited procedure suggests that highly specialised or established providers in the region, particularly those with existing infrastructure and experience in delivering enhanced healthcare services, are well-positioned to compete and potentially collaborate with NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board.
