Summary of the contracting process

The North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is set to award a contract for local enhanced health services under the Direct Award Process A as per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023. This procurement, falling outside the usual public procurement guidelines, involves limited competition and has been classified under the health services sector (CPV 85100000). The contract, valued at £0.01 with no guaranteed financial value due to its activity-based nature, is scheduled to commence on 1st April 2025 and conclude on 31st March 2026. It encapsulates services like population health management, flu immunisation, and primary care system engagement, all delivered in the UKC region, specifically Sunderland. The contract was directly awarded to White Medical Group, with the procurement stage marked as complete and the contract status active since 12th October 2025.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for firms specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in population health and management, to engage with the NHS Integrated Care Board. Although the contract was awarded without an open call for competition, demonstrating capacity in health management can position businesses favourably for future opportunities with similar procurement processes. Companies that can provide niche healthcare solutions, including innovative approaches to immunisation and health checks, are well-suited to benefit from collaborations under such tenders. Engaging in these processes can enable businesses to showcase their capacity to deliver activity-based health services and potentially secure future partnerships within the public healthcare domain.
