This procurement falls under the health services category and is aimed at providing effective Covid-19 treatments to patients in the Black Country region. Initially advertised through an open procedure and governed by the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, it involved a competitive procurement process. The tender was issued with a deadline for submissions on 12th September 2025, expecting the successful provider to start operations by 1st November 2025. The maximum estimated contract value was £163,750 over a potential five-year term, factoring in a possible two-year extension beyond the initial three-year period. However, as of the recent update on 17th September 2025, the procurement process has been terminated with no award made, and all related awards have been marked as unsuccessful. This tender presented opportunities for businesses within the health services industry, specifically those experienced in managing community health services during pandemic conditions. Providers capable of delivering Oral Anti-Retroviral Treatment and Neutralising Monoclonal Antibodies (nMABs) effectively to patients would find this opportunity beneficial for growth. The contract scope involved managing mild to moderate cases of Covid-19 at home to alleviate hospital pressures, a task well-suited for businesses with expertise in home healthcare provision and logistics. Although the procurement was ultimately discontinued, similar future opportunities may arise, allowing businesses to leverage their capabilities in public health service delivery. ## Notice **Please note this Procurement is now terminated with no contract award** NHS Arden and GEM CSU on behalf of NHS Black Country Integrated Care Board (ICB) is inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers to express interest in delivering the Service(s), by responding to this opportunity as required and described in this document, and within the published tender.
