## Summary

The procurement process for contract QHM-2025-9921, titled "Aspatria Medical Group - Local Enhanced Services," is managed by NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board. This process is centred on health services, classified under CPV code 85100000, within the UKC region, specifically Sunderland. Originally initiated to begin on 1 April 2025 and end on 31 March 2026, the contract is for services such as Near Patient Testing and Warfarin Monitoring.

This tender provides diverse opportunities for businesses capable of delivering high-risk drug monitoring and minor injury services, enhancing existing offerings within the healthcare sector. It suits established healthcare providers, particularly those experienced in providing direct and speedy testing services due to its activity-based contract nature.
