## Summary

The North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, based in Sunderland, has completed a procurement process titled "QHM-2025-1197 Dunelm Medical Practice - Enhanced Services Contract" within the health services industry category. This contract, related to services such as DVT Pathway and Enhanced Community Gynaecology Service, follows the Direct Award Process A under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023 and is outside the scope of the Procurement Act 2023. This tender process commenced with the signing of the contract on 1st October 2025 and covers services already delivered on an implied contract from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement method was limited, involving no prior publication of a call for competition, and the contract was awarded to Dunelm Medical Practice.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses engaged in health services, particularly those capable of providing specialised medical services like gynaecology and intermediate care. While Dunelm Medical Practice has been awarded the contract due to a lack of realistic alternative providers, businesses looking to enter or expand within the health sector should prepare to meet the high standards of service delivery and compliance required under similar tender processes. Companies experienced in handling direct awards and service delivery under regional health care frameworks would be well-suited to compete in future procurements of this nature.
