## Summary

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for the provision of podiatry services in Sunderland under the Health and Social Work Services category. This procurement process is governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and carried out using Direct Award Process C, exempting it from the Procurement Act 2023. The contract, valued at £754,760, has been confirmed as awarded and is set to run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The buying organisation, located at Pemberton House, Colima Avenue, Sunderland Enterprise Park, conducted this procurement without prior publication of a call for competition, signifying a limited procurement method.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in health and social work services, particularly those with existing frameworks in podiatry. Given that the contract was awarded directly to an existing provider, businesses looking to engage in future opportunities should focus on meeting the stringent supplier criteria and maintaining high service standards. The procurement process demonstrates how established relationships and proven track records in a sector can facilitate contract awards, making it crucial for suppliers to build and maintain strong partnerships with public healthcare buyers. Businesses with expertise in podiatry service delivery and the ability to adapt to regulatory frameworks such as the Provider Selection Regime will find this contract model beneficial for growing their regional presence.
