Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is buying a Tier 2 gynaecology service, a healthcare service intended to provide specialist gynaecological care. The named service is associated with Dr Julie Oliver trading as Durham Gynae. The procurement identifies the delivery region as North East England; Sunderland is the buyer’s location, not a stated service delivery address. The requirement is for an existing provider to continue delivering the service. The contracting process covers a single service lot.

The process records an active contract and an active award to Dr Julie Oliver (trading as Durham Gynae). The procurement description also says this is an intention to award under the Provider Selection Regime, subject to a standstill, and that formal award would follow the standstill period; the contract is recorded as signed on 1 July 2026. The contract period is 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with services already delivered under an implied contract. The stated value is £117,914, although the source says the final value cannot be confirmed because delivery is ad hoc. The route is Direct Award C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without a prior competition. The stated assessment concerns quality and cost, each described as 100%.

For future requirements of this kind, a credible provider would need to deliver Tier 2 gynaecology services to a sufficient standard and demonstrate reliable performance against the buyer’s existing service requirements. The stated selection rationale favoured continuity: the incumbent was judged to be satisfying the current contract and likely to satisfy the proposed contract. The assessment says the provider passed the Provider Selection Regime’s five key criteria and met the key requirements for the contract. This points to the importance of relevant clinical service capability and evidence of satisfactory delivery, rather than price competition alone; the stated assessment assigns full weight to both quality and cost. The work is ad hoc, so suppliers would need capacity to respond flexibly to variable service activity. The buyer is NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, and the service is associated with County Durham.
