Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is overseeing a procurement process titled "QHM-2025-8113 A86018 The Grove Medical Group Enhanced Services Contract," which focuses on health services. Located in Sunderland, the procurement falls within the "services" category, specifically addressing needs such as diabetes and health checks in the UKC region. The process is in the award stage, with the contract signed on 1st October 2025 and services delivered under an existing implied contract starting from 1st April 2025. This procurement follows a limited method for awarding, under the Direct Award Process A, where the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023 apply, and typical procurement acts and regulations do not. The contract notably has a nominal value of £0.01 as it is based on activity with no guaranteed value.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those experienced in care homes, diabetes management, and health checks. Established providers in the health care sector with a focus on delivering comprehensive, quality medical services can greatly benefit from such contracts, given the stability of working with NHS bodies. Despite the lack of a competitive bidding process in this case, businesses aiming to expand their footprint in the North East health care sector may view this contract as a strategic opportunity. The Grove Medical Group, being the chosen supplier, illustrates the potential for large-scale health providers to secure such direct awards, given their capability to meet specialised health service needs.
