## Summary

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board has completed the procurement process for the "QHM-2025-8861 Old Forge Surgery - Enhanced Services Contract" under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023. This contract, which includes services such as a DVT Pathway and Enhanced Community Gynaecology Service, is categorised under the health services industry. It will be executed in the UKC region starting from 1 April 2025, with an end date of 31 March 2026. The process used is a direct award, a limited procurement method without a prior call for competition. Significant decision-makers included the Chief Delivery Officer and the Director of Finance, ensuring no conflicts of interest were present.

The contract presents potential for business growth primarily for large-scale health service providers like Old Forge Surgery, the awarded supplier. This contract, although already implying service provisions, can bolster a provider's portfolio by expanding into services aimed at improving healthcare pathways and community services. Businesses equipped to manage complex health services operations and with existing infrastructure in the UKC region would have been best suited for such opportunities, particularly those skilled in delivering comprehensive care solutions without competition given the sole provider nature of the award.
