Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is in the award stage of a procurement process titled "QHM-2025-9915 Local Enhanced Services," focusing on health services. Located in Sunderland, United Kingdom, this contract falls under the industry category of health services, with a planned start date of 1st April 2025 and completion by 31st March 2026. The process is conducted under the Direct Award Process A as per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023; hence it is outside the scope of the 2023 Procurement Act and 2024 Procurement Regulations. The procurement method used is limited and the procedure was executed without a prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued as a nominal £0.01, is inherently an activity-based contract with no guaranteed value.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in healthcare services, particularly those that can deliver population health management, flu immunisation, primary care engagement, and a variety of health checks such as SMI Physical Health Checks. With its focus on both service quality and cost, entities with existing capabilities in these areas, especially those with large operational scales or those situated in the local region, are well-positioned to benefit from participation. Prospective businesses need to demonstrate an ability to maintain or enhance service delivery quality and engage effectively in primary care systems, potentially fostering collaboration and growth within the health service sector. Being an existing service contract under an implied arrangement, businesses that align well with the capability and scale requirements of the NHS may find this an attractive opportunity.
