## Summary

South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is seeking to award a contract for General Practitioner Services at The Friary Hospital in Richmond under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). The contract concerns the provision of 24-hour medical cover for the hospital's Victoria ward, in collaboration with various practices in the Richmondshire PCN area. Notably, the contract will be awarded through a limited procurement procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Award decision makers include 'The General Manager - Friarage Hospital and H&R Community Services' and 'The Senior General Manager - Friarage and Locality'. The estimated contract award date is 1st April 2025, with agreements set to last for 36 months, totalling £45,000 throughout the lots.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for qualified general practitioner services providers in the North East of England, specifically those capable of managing medical responsibilities across the Richmondshire PCN area. The procurement process aims to establish new service level agreements (SLAs) with selected suppliers, ensuring comprehensive medical cover in coordination with existing practices. This opportunity is well-suited for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the healthcare sector, providing them with a platform to expand their service offerings and strengthen their presence in the regional healthcare landscape. Interested businesses should consider the strategic growth potential and the stability offered by a 36-month contractual engagement.
