This procurement, necessitated by a shortfall in staffing, was carried out in the United Kingdom, specifically at The Friarage Hospital in Northallerton. It followed an urgent award procedure under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, bypassing standard provider selection processes to address immediate risks to patient and public safety. The contract, starting on 3rd August 2026, valued at £75,000, runs for 13 weeks. The procurement stage is in the awards phase, with the contract already signed on 22nd June 2026. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those within the healthcare sector able to provide general-practitioner services. Small and medium-sized enterprises like Hartlepool and Stockton Health, who succeeded in securing this award, are well-suited for such contracts. The limited procurement method used indicates that businesses capable of quickly and effectively responding to urgent healthcare needs will have a competitive edge. Thus, agile service providers with the ability to mobilise swiftly and efficiently will find this type of procurement beneficial for expanding their market presence and enhancing their reputation in emergency healthcare service provision. ## Notice This Procurement project is required to address ongoing rota gaps that cannot currently be filled by existing staff, resulting in a shortfall of 8 x 8-hour shifts per week. These unfilled shifts present a clear risk to patient care, safety, staff wellbeing, and the overall quality and continuity of service delivery, with the potential for increased waiting times, service disruption, and pressure on remaining staff.
