## Summary

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Primary Care Regulations Advice & Training Service". This procurement falls under the services category, specifically health training services, and is located in the United Kingdom, centred particularly around Sunderland. The procurement has reached the 'Award' stage as of 23 July 2026, with the contract starting on 1 August 2026 and concluding on 31 July 2027. The total contract amount is £44,500. A direct procurement method was used, employing a single tender waiver given the limited supplier market and specialised expertise required for delivering this service. This decision aligns with the procurement policies under the Procurement Act 2023, designed for contracts below the applicable threshold.

This tender presents a growth opportunity for businesses as it involves providing a niche subscription service that offers unlimited regulatory advice and training on topics such as GPOD contracting, finance, and strategic commissioning. Businesses with expertise in health training services, especially those focusing on primary care, are ideally positioned to compete in this narrow market. The involvement of Primary Care Commissioning Community Interest Company, an SME, highlights the potential for small and medium enterprises to engage successfully with public-sector contracts in delivering specialised services. Companies with additional service capabilities may further benefit from potential options to supply additional components during the contract period, enhancing their market presence and fostering long-term partnerships with public health organisations.

## Notice

Total contract value is below the applicable threshold for Procurement Act 2023 regulations. NENC ICB procurement policy normally requires the obtainment of three quotations to demonstrate best value. However, due to the limited supplier market and the specialist expertise required to deliver this niche subscription service, a Single Tender Waiver has been issued. Contract Start Date: 01 August 2026 Contract End Date: 31 July 2027 Contract Vale: PS44,500
