BLMK ICB is considering awarding a contract to an existing provider for these essential health services, covering locations such as Milton Keynes within the region UKJ12. The procurement is in the 'award' stage under the Provider Selection Regime, with key representations needed by 11th September 2025, following the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. It is a direct award process without publication for competition, expected to commence on 1st April 2026, lasting for two years with an approximate value of £2,937,019. This tender provides significant business growth opportunities primarily for established health service providers with expertise in delivering community-based healthcare solutions, specialising in gynaecology, cardiology, and respiratory conditions.
