Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is procuring general medical services for residents temporarily staying in a care home, under the title “Collingwood Surgery – GP Cover Royal Quays”. The work is a healthcare service rather than goods, works or social care provision. It covers the delivery of GMS services to care-home residents and is associated with Royal Quays. The named provider is Collingwood Surgery, based in North Shields. The requirement sits within health and social work services and is relevant to GP practices, primary-care providers and organisations able to provide clinically appropriate general medical cover for people temporarily residing in a care-home setting. The buying organisation is the NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, with Sunderland as its listed base.

The process is an intention to award under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, using Direct Award C without prior publication of a competition. The procurement records an active award to Collingwood Surgery and an active contract signed on 1 July 2026. The contract period is 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with services delivered from the start date under an implied contract. The stated contract value is £88,265, although the services are ad hoc. Representations had to reach the decision makers by midnight on 23 September 2026, with the formal award subject to the PSR standstill process. The recorded evaluation used the existing provider’s ability to satisfy the proposed requirement, assessed against quality and cost criteria, each described as 100%.

This requirement indicates demand for GP cover supporting care-home residents in the Royal Quays area. A credible future competitor would need to provide general medical services safely to people temporarily residing in a care-home environment, with the clinical systems, qualified staff and operational capacity to respond to ad hoc activity. The buyer’s stated assessment focused on whether the incumbent was already delivering the existing contract satisfactorily and was likely to meet the proposed requirement to a sufficient standard. Providers should therefore be able to demonstrate reliable performance, continuity of primary-care provision, appropriate quality controls and cost-effective delivery. GP practices and primary-care organisations with local coverage, experience of care-home residents and the capacity to manage variable demand would be the closest commercial fit.
