Summary, notice description and lot information
The procurement process for the Cannock Headache Service involves NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board, located in Stoke-on-Trent. This contract, part of the Health Care Services industry category, is at the 'Award' stage following the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract covers medical practice services, focusing on diagnosis and treatment of migraine and head pain.
The publication on 12th December 2025 marks the start of the standstill period, with providers required to submit representations by 24th December 2025. The Cannock Headache Service will operate in regions UKG23 and UKG24 during 2026, with the contract valued at £61,592. This tender offers business growth opportunities for companies specialising in medical practice services, particularly those adept in headache treatment and management.
Smaller enterprises focusing on healthcare innovations and patient management could find this contract promising due to its focus on tailored treatment plans and advanced headache research. The procurement method, a limited award procedure without a prior publication of a call for competition, favours established providers with proven performance in existing contracts, aligning with the NHS SSOT ICB's goal to maintain service continuity and capacity. Businesses meeting these criteria may effectively compete for this opportunity, contributing to healthcare service stability in Cannock and surrounding areas.
Cannock Headache Service offers a range of services to help patients manage their headaches. These services include consultation and diagnosis, individualized treatment plans, and access to the latest in headache research and treatment. Patients can also receive medication management and counselling services to help them manage their symptoms. The ICB is intending to award a contract to an existing provider following direct award process C, where the existing provider is satisfying the existing contract and will likely satisfy the proposed new contract, and the contract is not changing considerably. The approximate lifetime value of the contract is PS61,592. The dates between which the services are intended to be provided are: 01/01/2026 to 31/12/2026.
