Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process is being executed by the NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board in Sunderland, United Kingdom, for the contract titled "QHM-2025-9617 Asda Stores Ltd" in the health services industry category. The contracting process follows the Direct Award Process A under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023, which does not fall under the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024. The procurement is at the 'award' stage, and the contract was signed on 1st October 2025, expected to run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. While primarily focusing on services like food thickening, stocking palliative drugs, flu antivirals, and tuberculosis drugs, it falls within the UKC region, covering areas around Sunderland.

This tender offers growth opportunities primarily for large-scale providers capable of delivering integrated health services efficiently, which aligns well with the requirements of such service contracts. Given the procurement method as a direct award without competitive tendering, it is suitable for established entities with a proven track record in healthcare service provision and those positioned to offer unique or non-substitutable services, like Asda Stores Ltd. Businesses capable of providing specialised health services, particularly in fulfilling activity-based contracts, would find this type of tender particularly advantageous for business expansion and securing long-term partnerships with public health bodies.
