## Summary

The NHS Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) has awarded a contract titled "The Provision of Caretaking GP Services: Whitestone Surgery" under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This contract, classified under "General-practitioner services" (CPV: 85121100), was necessitated by the Care Quality Commission's (CQC) suspension of the surgery's registration. The procurement stage is in the Award and Contract Update phase, with key dates including the original contract period from 29 January 2024 to 29 July 2024, and subsequent extensions from 30 July 2024 to 31 January 2025, and 1 February 2025 to 31 July 2025. The contract, valued at GBP 750,000, is located in Nuneaton (82 Bulkington Lane, CV11 3SB) and managed by the ICB's key decision-makers without any declared conflicts of interest.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the healthcare industry, particularly those specialised in general practitioner services and capable of operating under urgent care conditions. Organisations with the capacity to provide comprehensive essential and additional medical services throughout core NHS hours are particularly well-suited for this contract. The competitive procurement method, demanding an immediate response to urgent healthcare needs, provides an advantageous position for capable and efficient healthcare providers to demonstrate their expertise and expand their operations within the region served by NHS Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board. The contract with Coventry & Rugby GP Alliance exemplifies the potential for large-scale healthcare providers to secure significant public contracts in response to unforeseen regulatory changes.
