## Summary

The NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board has awarded contracts under the Enhanced Service Offer 2025/26 framework for Birmingham East Central Primary Care Network. This award, completed under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, focuses on delivering general-practitioner services aimed at improving patient access to primary care and enhancing life expectancy across Birmingham and Solihull. These services align with the BSol Integrated Care Strategy 2023-2033, prioritising clinical areas such as circulatory disease, infant mortality, respiratory illness, cancer, and mental health. The procurement utilised a limited method without prior publication for continuity, given the successful track record of existing providers. Contract terms stretch from 1st September 2025 to 31st March 2026, with an optional extension for a further 12 months.

The contracting process provides significant opportunities for established general practitioners and healthcare providers within the Birmingham and Solihull region. The focus on collaborative service delivery, particularly at the locality or Primary Care Network level, is ideal for GP practices capable of operating in networks to achieve strategic healthcare objectives. This tender offers potential growth through involvement in services directly contributing to public health management and tackling health inequalities. Existing suppliers, such as Church Lane Surgery, Omnia Practice, Yardley Green Medical Centre, Bucklands End Lane Surgery, and Druid Group, have secured contracts, demonstrating the procurement's preference for continuity and proven expertise.
