## Summary

The NHS Somerset Integrated Care Board (ICB) has awarded a contract to One Medicare Limited for the provision of General Medical Services (GMS) and related services at Minehead Medical Centre. This contract falls under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) due to a Care Quality Commission (CQC) issued notice of suspension.

The structured engagement approach aims to reduce clinical risks and improve overall service quality, paving the way for a future procurement process anticipated for 2025/26. This contract is valued between £6,000,000 to £6,500,000, presenting substantial business opportunities within the UK's healthcare sector.
