Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for enhanced health services at the Bishopgate Medical Centre under the title "Bishopgate Medical Centre - Enhanced Services Contract." This process is executed through the Direct Award Process A, as outlined by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023, meaning it was not subject to competitive tendering due to the absence of viable alternative providers. The awarded contract, completed on 1st October 2025, is activity-based with a nominal contract value and spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The service location is within region UKC, notably Sunderland, focusing on a range of health services classified under CPV code 85100000.

This contract presents growth opportunities for large-scale health service providers capable of delivering enhanced medical services without competition under the current regulations. Since the tender follows a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, businesses already operating in health services might find expansion leverage by demonstrating unique capabilities in providing comprehensive community-based care pathways. Companies with experience in managing health service integrations, community gynaecology, and intermediate care would likely excel in similar future opportunities within health care procurement frameworks.
