## Summary

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board commissioned general medical services (GMS) for residents temporarily staying in a care home under the requirement titled “GP cover – Havelock Place”. The service provides primary medical cover to people living in the care-home setting on a temporary basis, rather than supplying goods, construction or general consultancy. It sits within health and social work services. The buyer is an NHS integrated care board based in Sunderland, while the selected provider, Northumbria Primary Care (NPC), is based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The published requirement concerns one care-home service and is delivered to residents at that setting.

The procurement has reached the award stage: Northumbria Primary Care (NPC) was selected by NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, with an award dated 1 July 2026 and an active contract. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027 and has a value of £23,642; services have been delivered from the start date under an implied contract, and activity is ad hoc, so the value cannot be confirmed as fixed. The route was a limited direct award without prior publication of a competition, under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services. The existing provider was assessed as meeting the requirement, with quality and cost each recorded at 100%.

This procurement indicates demand for a primary-care provider able to deliver general medical services to temporary care-home residents, including reliable GP cover within a residential-care setting. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need operational capacity to respond to ad hoc clinical activity, maintain continuity for residents and work effectively with the NHS integrated care board and care-home environment. The assessment favoured an established provider already satisfying the service, so evidence of dependable delivery, suitable clinical governance and experience providing GMS to care-home populations would be commercially relevant. The evaluation also treated both service quality and cost as central considerations, making strong performance evidence and a sustainable pricing model important.
