Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is procuring a GPwSI (General Practitioner with Special Interest) healthcare service for patients in North East England. The service covers carpal tunnel, hernia, vasectomy, dermatology, minor skin conditions and ophthalmology. It is a clinical health service rather than a supply or construction opportunity. Carlisle Healthcare is identified as the supplier, with its address in Carlisle. The requirement is intended to provide specialist assessment and treatment alongside NHS services, across several minor surgery and outpatient clinical areas. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are healthcare providers able to deliver GP-led specialist services across these disciplines, with suitable clinical teams and arrangements for patient care in the area served by the Integrated Care Board.

The procurement is recorded at the award and contract stage. It used the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services and an award procedure without prior publication of a competition. The recorded award is active and names Carlisle Healthcare as supplier. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and has a value of £2,274,045. The notice also says the publication started a standstill period, with representations due by midnight on 23 September 2026, and that formal award would follow the ninth working day after standstill. The procurement was evaluated against quality and cost criteria, with the existing provider’s satisfactory performance and expected ability to meet the proposed requirement cited for both. One bid was recorded. The related lot is marked cancelled.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the requirement shows established NHS demand for a broad GP-led specialist service combining minor surgery with dermatology and ophthalmology. A credible future competitor would need clinical capability across carpal tunnel, hernia, vasectomy, minor skin conditions and ophthalmology, together with the capacity to manage a varied patient caseload for an Integrated Care Board. The selected provider was assessed as meeting the applicable key requirements and as likely to deliver the proposed service to a sufficient standard. Relevant organisations should therefore be able to demonstrate reliable delivery across the full service range, consistent quality, and cost control, rather than expertise in only one procedure. Providers with an established local healthcare presence may also be well placed to understand the service context.
