## Summary

The procurement process involves NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, inviting engagements for their titled project "QHM-2025-9929 Your Voice Counts" within the general-practitioner services category in Sunderland, UK. The tender follows the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) as per the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, employing a Direct Award Process. Initial contract communications indicate an award notice published on 28th August 2025, and the intent to award notification earlier on 4th August 2025. The contract valued at £118,840 will run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. During this period, a standstill phase was incorporated, ending 15th August 2025, allowing for provider representation prior to the final award.

This contract space offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for businesses in the healthcare sector, keen on providing general practitioner services. It is particularly suited for providers who can demonstrate previous successful service delivery and meet stringent quality and cost criteria. Firms with established capabilities in healthcare delivery, similar to Carlisle Healthcare, stand a strong chance leveraging their expertise to satisfy such contracts, ensuring continuity of operations and service excellence under existing conditions. New entrants familiar with the PSR framework can compete effectively by showcasing capability compliance and reputation for healthcare service delivery at an equivalent or improved quality level.
