## Summary

NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board has launched a procurement process for its "COVID Medicines Delivery Unit (CMDU) Service - Triage & Prescribing" project, geared towards providing essential health services across the London region. This initiative requires a 7-day operational service, covering patient contact, triage, prescribing, and administering medications, including intravenous treatments, with the contract period set from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2027. valued at £549,323. Following a provider selection under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, it has been confirmed that Haringey GP Group Ltd has been awarded the contract through a direct award process, skipping the traditional competitive bidding, as per the special procurement method utilised in this case.

This contract presents significant opportunities for growth within the health services sector, particularly for firms experienced in healthcare delivery and management. The focus on extended operational hours, including efficient triage and prescribing, highlights the demand for agility and expertise in medical service provision. Businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those that can demonstrate high quality and innovation, social value, and the ability to reduce health inequalities, would find this contract an excellent opportunity to expand their portfolio whilst contributing substantially to public health efforts in the region.
