## Summary

The procurement process, managed by NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, involves the direct award of a contract under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023. The contract, designated under the ID QHM-2025-7524, concerns the provision of health services, specifically stocking palliative drugs, by HA Healthcare Limited, trading as Bishop Auckland Pharmacy Newgate located in the UKC region. The contract is due to commence on 1 April 2025 and conclude on 31 March 2026, though services were previously provided under an implied agreement. This procurement follows a limited method of tender without prior publication of a call for competition, considering there were no realistic alternative providers, and is currently in the award stage with the contract deemed active as of 1 October 2025.

This tender presents a targeted business opportunity for companies specialising in healthcare services, specifically those providing pharmaceutical products and services. Despite the contract's low monetary value, its nature as an activity-based contract without a guaranteed value could potentially lead to additional business scope through sustained service delivery across the North East and Cumbria region. Large-scale healthcare companies that can efficiently manage the provision and distribution of palliative drugs would be well-suited for such opportunities, particularly in meeting the requirements of a health board with strict standards such as NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board.
