## Summary

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board has formally awarded a contract for podiatry services under the North East Podiatry Contract 24/25 in Sunderland. This procurement falls within the medical specialist services category, governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and is exempt from the Procurement Act 2023. The contract was awarded directly to an existing provider, North East Podiatry Ltd, using a Direct Award Process C, without a prior call for competition. The services provided are specified as activity-based with no guaranteed contract value, and the contract duration runs from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement process has been concluded, and the contract is in its active post-award phase as of 21st October 2025.

Firms capable of fulfilling activity-based service contracts without a guaranteed value are well-suited to engage with such opportunities. Additionally, the tender process's compliance with the Provider Selection Regime allows for a streamlined agreement with existing service providers, enhancing their prospects of sustained engagement with public procurement in specialised health services. Businesses with the requisite expertise and operational capacity in the Sunderland region can leverage this framework for potential future opportunities with the NHS Integrated Care Board.
