Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is set to award a contract for "QHM-2025-7356 Local Enhanced Services" under the Direct Award Process A according to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023. This contract, valued at £0.01, covers various health services, including Population Health Management and Flu Immunisation, and will run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. Located in the UKC region, the procurement falls outside the scope of the UK's Procurement Act 2023, and no open competition was held due to a lack of alternative providers. The procurement stage is the award phase, with the supplier being Alnwick Medical Group.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the health services sector, especially those capable of providing specialised health management and support services. Companies that focus on the development and implementation of health management programmes, such as flu immunisation and phlebotomy, would be well-suited to engage in similar processes in the future. The contract is particularly relevant for large organisations with the capacity to deliver comprehensive healthcare services, given its focus on activity-based services without a guaranteed contract value, allowing potential for scalable growth and partnership with public healthcare systems.
