## Summary

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) for dementia support services. The procurement has transitioned to the award stage, following a direct award process due to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, with the contract awarded without prior publication of a call for competition. This contract, valued at £37,497, will commence on 1st April 2025 and conclude on 31st March 2026. The services are classified under the 'Geriatric services' category, and while initially planned for region UKC, the procurement paves the way for broader application across various UK regions.

This opportunity signals potential growth for businesses specialising in geriatric and dementia care services, particularly those proficient in long-term healthcare provision. Providers like Equal Arts, having already earned the contract, demonstrate the success possible for those meeting stringent quality and cost standards within public health procurement frameworks. Firms with established healthcare track records and capacity to address specialised elderly care needs are well-positioned to excel in such procurement processes, enhancing their portfolio and engagement within the public sector.
