Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board has completed a procurement process for a contract under the title "Durham Dales Health Federation - MO Workplan for LIAISE (Wear Valley)" in the health services category. This contract, initiated through a tender process, was awarded via the Direct Award Process A as per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023. Located in Sunderland, United Kingdom (region UKC23), the contract covers services from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026 and has been conducted under a limited procurement method, directly awarding without prior competition. This contract, focusing on a specific health service initiative in the UKC region, reflects strategic procurement activity following specific regulatory exemptions.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses closely aligned with the health sector, particularly those capable of delivering niche health services within the UK. Companies that can demonstrate quality and cost-efficient service delivery in health care could find similar future opportunities beneficial for growth. The procurement's focus on direct awarding underlines the advantage for businesses already known and trusted within this network. Such procurement processes can support the expansion of established health service providers, like the Durham Dales Health Federation, which has secured this contract and might inspire similar organisations to leverage existing relationships and service capabilities to win contracts without the need for extensive competition.
