Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, located in Sunderland, has completed a direct award process for the "QHM-2025-7657 Middle Chare Medical Group - Enhanced Services Contract," under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023. This procurement, classified under the health services industry (CPV: 85100000), involves services such as DVT Pathway and Enhanced Community Gynaecology Service. The procurement is carried out through a limited method due to no realistic alternative providers, and the contract commenced on 1 April 2025, ending by 31 March 2026. This award underlines a strategic initiative to enhance local healthcare services without prior publication of a call for competition, integrated within the UKC region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the healthcare sector, particularly those offering niche or specialized medical services. Given its nature as an existing service and contract based on activity rather than a fixed contract value, companies that are adept in delivering scalable service models could find this business beneficial. The procurement is tailored for large-scale suppliers that can demonstrate unique offerings with no feasible alternatives in the market, thereby meeting the stringent quality and cost criteria set forth in the tender. Engaging in this project could further solidify a business's presence in the healthcare industry and align it closely with public health priorities in the North East and North Cumbria regions.
