## Summary

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, located in Sunderland, UK, initiated a procurement process titled "QHM-2025-9690 Care for the Elderly," which falls under the geriatric services industry category. The procurement involves services and follows the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) as per the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. The tender has been awarded through a limited procurement method, specifically by direct award, and the process has reached the award stage. The contract commences on 1st April 2025 and ends on 31st March 2026. The contract value is £4,393, with the arrangement having been formalised after an observation period ending on the 15th of August 2025.

This procurement offers potential business growth avenues, particularly for organisations experienced in providing healthcare services, such as geriatric care. The direct award method indicates an opportunity for providers with a track record of stable service delivery and the capability to meet key criteria under regulatory frameworks. Companies positioned to benefit most likely include large-scale healthcare providers, particularly those with existing operations in the North East and North Cumbria regions of the UK, like Disability North, which has been involved as a supplier. Such contracts can solidify business relationships with regional healthcare boards and expand service portfolios.
