Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process concerns the NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, which is poised to award a contract titled "QHM-2025-9980 A86011 Walker Medical Group Enhanced Services Contract." The contract falls under the health services industry category with a focus on various services such as Care Homes DES+, Androgen Deprivation Injections, and Diabetes management. The process is handled under the Direct Award Process A as per Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023 and is not governed by the Procurement Act 2023 or Procurement Regulations 2024. Located in the UKC region, specifically Sunderland, this procurement is at the award stage with the contract starting on 1 April 2025 and ending on 31 March 2026. The procurement method employed was direct award without a prior competitive call, favouring limited competition due to the lack of alternative providers.

This tender presents an opportunity for health service providers, particularly those capable of delivering specialized medical services, to associate with the NHS in the UKC region. While the contract value is nominal, this opportunity could enhance the service provider's reputation and foster growth in managing enhanced medical services across care homes and community settings. Larger health organisations with expertise in handling comprehensive healthcare services and seeking to strengthen their regional presence would be well-suited for participation in such contracts. This contract will be awarded to Walker Medical Group, indicating a demand for well-established, capable healthcare service providers within the regional healthcare system.
