Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "QHM-2025-69619 North Cumbria Primary Care - Fellview Healthcare - Local Enhanced Service" has been completed by the NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board. This contract falls under the health services industry category, focusing on services such as near patient testing and drug monitoring, and serves the UKC region. The procurement process was conducted through a Direct Award, specifically under the "Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition" due to its specific regulatory framework. The contract, effective from 1st April 2025 until 31st March 2026, has been designated for activity-based services without a guaranteed contract value, although the nominal contract value is recorded as £0.01. The contract was officially awarded to North Cumbria Primary Care on 1st October 2025, marking the transition from planning to the award stage.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those capable of providing specialised services like drug monitoring and healthcare administration, to expand their operations in the North Cumbria area. Companies with expertise in managing high-risk patient testing and those offering advanced healthcare support services may find this contract aligns well with their capabilities. Given the nature of the Direct Award, businesses that can demonstrate unique capabilities without realistic alternatives in service provision are particularly well-positioned to benefit from opportunities of this kind. Although the contract has already been awarded, staying informed of such publicly-funded health service projects can offer insights and preparation for future procurement opportunities.
