Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is the buying organisation for this procurement process titled "QHM-2025-9276 Winning Esh Trading Ltd," focused on health services. This procurement falls within the services category, specifically covering food thickening and tuberculosis drugs. The award, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations of 2023, does not adhere to the Procurement Act 2023 or the Procurement Regulations 2024, and was made via a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. Key dates include the contract start date of 1st April 2025 and an end date of 31st March 2026, although services have been delivered under an implied contract since before the official start date. The location for the contract service delivery is in the UKC region.

This contract presents unique growth opportunities for businesses already operating within the health services sector, particularly those capable of delivering specialised services such as food thickening and tuberculosis drug provision. Given that the procurement process did not include a call for competition due to the lack of realistic alternative providers, it is ideal for established providers with a proven track record in delivering health services. This tender is best suited for large-scale organisations like Winning Esh Trading Ltd, which can manage complex health service requirements with efficiency.
