## Summary

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board commissioned a GPwSI healthcare service covering vasectomy procedures and semen analysis. The requirement is classified as health and social work services and is delivered in the North East and North Cumbria area, including Brampton and surrounding communities. The service is for patients requiring vasectomy and associated semen testing, with the provider expected to deliver both elements as one service. The selected supplier is Brampton Medical Practice, based in Brampton. This is a clinical primary care requirement rather than a general facilities, equipment or consultancy contract, so relevant providers are GP practices, community healthcare organisations and clinical service operators with the ability to undertake vasectomy procedures and semen analysis within the commissioning area.

The procurement used the Provider Selection Regime under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, through a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The process is recorded as awarded to Brampton Medical Practice, with one supplier and one requirement. The contract value is £40,872.26. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and is active. The buyer assessed the existing provider as satisfying the original contract and likely to satisfy the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. The stated evaluation considered quality and cost, each described as 100%. The procurement record also marks the lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are active. Representations under the standstill arrangements were due by midnight on 23 September 2026.

For a competing provider, this procurement demonstrates a defined local demand for a combined vasectomy and semen-analysis service commissioned by the NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board. A credible future supplier would need appropriately qualified clinical staff, suitable facilities and equipment for vasectomy procedures, and reliable arrangements for semen sample testing, reporting and patient follow-up. The selected provider was an existing contractor, and the buyer recorded that it was meeting the current contract and was likely to meet the proposed standard. Competitors would therefore need evidence of safe, consistent clinical delivery, dependable service capacity and satisfactory performance against the buyer’s requirements. The evaluation placed emphasis on both service quality and cost, so providers would need a clinically robust operating model alongside clear and competitive pricing.
