Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is procuring minor surgery services for patients in North East England. The requirement is a health service delivered on an ad hoc basis, with the existing provider continuing to perform minor surgical procedures under the proposed arrangement. The buying organisation is based in Sunderland, while the selected provider, The Headland Medical Centre, is based in Hartlepool. This is a healthcare services requirement rather than a supply of goods, construction project or general facilities service. It may suit GP practices, community healthcare providers, outpatient clinics and other organisations with the clinical capability and local presence to deliver minor surgery safely and reliably for NHS patients.

The procurement has reached the award stage, with The Headland Medical Centre selected under the Provider Selection Regime through a direct award without prior publication of a competition. The award date was 1 July 2026, and the contract is recorded as active. It runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027; services have been delivered from the start date under an implied contract. The stated contract value is £29,943, although delivery is ad hoc and the final value cannot be confirmed. The arrangement was assessed on quality and cost, with each criterion described as 100%. One bid was recorded. The process is subject to a PSR standstill, with representations due by midnight on 27 September 2026, and formal award after the ninth working day following standstill.

This award indicates recurring NHS demand for locally delivered minor surgery and shows that continuity, satisfactory performance under an existing contract and confidence in future service quality were central to provider selection. A competitor seeking similar work would need an established minor surgery service, appropriately qualified clinical staff, suitable premises and the capacity to respond to ad hoc referrals. Evidence of safe, reliable delivery against NHS requirements would be important, alongside credible cost control and service quality. Providers with experience of community or primary care surgery in North East England, strong clinical governance and the ability to maintain consistent performance at modest contract scale would be well placed when this requirement is next reviewed.
