Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is overseeing a contract process for the "QHM-2025-9470 Local Enhanced Services", which primarily falls under the health services category (CPV 85100000), with service delivery located in the North East UK (region UKC). This procurement is currently in the award stage, and the contract is slated to begin on 1 April 2025 and conclude on 31 March 2026. The procurement follows a limited method, specifically a Direct Award Process under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023, exempting it from the usual provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024. Managed by officials including the Chief Delivery Officer and Director of Finance, the contract decision was made on 12 October 2025 to award this service to The Adderlane Surgery, involving an implied service delivery agreement valued nominally at £0.01, with the understanding that service payments are activity-based and thus not guaranteed.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the healthcare sector, particularly large-scale service providers proficient in health management, primary care engagement, and specialised medical services such as phlebotomy and disease-specific assessments. The process may be attractive to firms capable of providing comprehensive and adaptive health services without the immediate assurance of a fixed contract value, given its emphasis on activity-based service provision. While the contract was directly awarded without a traditional competitive tender, it underscores the necessity for healthcare providers to maintain readiness for such award processes, enhancing their service portfolio and expertise to meet similar future procurement needs.
