Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is procuring GP cover for Edith Moffat House. The requirement is a health service delivered through general practitioner cover, within the wider health and social work services category. The named provider is Northumbria Primary Care (NPC), based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The service relates to Edith Moffat House and is associated with the North East and North Cumbria health system. The procurement concerns one requirement rather than a broad programme of unrelated clinical services. It is therefore most relevant to GP practices, primary care organisations and healthcare providers with the clinical workforce, governance arrangements and operational capacity to deliver GP cover in a care-home or residential setting such as Edith Moffat House.

The process is recorded as complete, with Northumbria Primary Care (NPC) selected for the GP cover requirement. The contract is active, was signed on 1 July 2026, and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027; services were delivered from the start date under an implied contract. The stated contract value is £23,642, although the value cannot be confirmed because delivery is ad hoc. The route was a limited direct award without prior publication of a competition, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The award followed an assessment of the existing provider against the PSR’s five key criteria. The published evaluation gives 100% to both quality and cost. One bid was recorded. The notice also describes a standstill ending at midnight on 23 September 2026 and says formal award follows the ninth working day after standstill.

For a provider preparing for a future requirement of this kind, the procurement shows demand for flexible GP cover at Edith Moffat House rather than a fixed-volume service. A credible competitor would need qualified GPs and the systems to provide reliable continuity of primary care in the setting, while managing ad hoc activity and working within NHS clinical governance requirements. The buyer’s decision indicates that demonstrating the ability to satisfy the proposed service to a sufficient standard is central. Evidence should therefore cover delivery against an existing or comparable GP contract, clinical quality, workforce resilience, safeguarding, record keeping and coordination with the surrounding primary care system. Because the selected organisation was an established provider, a future challenger would need a clear mobilisation and continuity plan, alongside transparent and competitive cost information.
