## Summary

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, located in Sunderland, United Kingdom, has initiated a public procurement process under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations of 2023. The contracting process, titled "Durham Dales Health Federation - MO Workplan for LIAISE (Bishop Auckland and Teesdale)," falls under the health services industry category. The procurement method employed is a Direct Award Process A, which does not require prior publication of a call for competition, as it is deemed to fall outside the scope of certain procurement directives. The procurement process is at the award stage, with services effectively commenced on 1st April 2025 and expected to conclude by 31st March 2026. Notably, the services are provided in the UKC region.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses operating within the health services sector, particularly those capable of delivering specialised medical services within the regions of Bishop Auckland and Teesdale. Although the procurement follows a limited method that identifies no realistic alternative providers, businesses that have an established relationship or similar capabilities may find opportunities in subcontracting or forming alliances with existing suppliers, such as the Durham Dales Health Federation, which was awarded the contract. Large-scale health service providers, as well as those looking to expand their presence or service offerings in the North East of England, would find competing or collaborating on such tenders beneficial for strategic growth.
