## Summary

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is procuring primary care services for NCPC Workington Primary Care Centre in Workington. The requirement falls within health and social work services and covers services delivered through the primary care centre. The arrangement is for an existing provider, North Cumbria Primary Care, which is based in Carlisle. The services are described as ad hoc and relate specifically to the Workington primary care centre rather than a wider regional programme. This opportunity is relevant to organisations that provide primary care or closely related health services and can support delivery through a named primary care facility. The buyer is the integrated care board serving the North East and North Cumbria area.

The process uses a Provider Selection Regime Direct Award C procedure, without prior publication of a competition. North Cumbria Primary Care was selected as supplier for the Workington requirement. The reported contract value is £543,749.13 in total, although the notice says the value cannot be confirmed because services are ad hoc. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and covers 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027; services were delivered from 1 April under an implied contract. Evaluation gave equal 100% references to quality and cost: the existing provider was judged to be satisfying the original contract and likely to satisfy the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. The notice records one bid and an intention to award under the PSR, with representations due by midnight on 23 September 2026 and award after the ninth working day following standstill.

This procurement shows established demand from the integrated care board for ad hoc primary care services delivered through Workington Primary Care Centre. A credible future competitor would need to provide primary care services reliably through a fixed local facility, manage variable or unplanned activity, and demonstrate that it can meet the required standard consistently. The buyer’s stated assessment focused on whether the provider was satisfying the existing contract and would likely satisfy the proposed contract, so evidence of dependable performance, service continuity and effective management of primary care delivery would be important. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate both service quality and cost control, since the stated evaluation considered those two areas. Organisations with relevant primary care capability and an operating presence that supports delivery in Workington would be best placed.
