Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "QHM-2025-9271 A85011 St Albans Medical Group GP Enhanced Services" is managed by the NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, based in Sunderland, United Kingdom. This contract falls under the health services industry category and is specifically tailored for GP enhanced services. This contract is notable for being awarded through a direct award process, bypassing the usual competitive bidding due to the lack of realistic alternative providers. The procurement method is limited and involves awarding the contract without prior publication of a call for competition. Key dates include the contract start on 1 April 2025 and the end date on 31 March 2026, with related services already being provided under an implied contract. The main procurement category is services, covering various health care services such as PSA Monitoring, Diabetes Service, and Care Home DES+, among others.

This procurement presents a unique opportunity for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in GP and enhanced services, to engage with NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board. The opportunity primarily suits large-scale service providers familiar with the specific requirements of healthcare services in the UK, given its high standards and regulatory landscapes. While the contract is valued minimally, the actual potential benefit lies in the service-based nature of the contract, which can provide substantial business growth and sustainability for providers with the right capabilities and experience. The award of this contract also illustrates the potential for continuity and assurance of work for those businesses meeting the necessary criteria, thus allowing them to build on existing service provision frameworks within the healthcare industry.
