This procurement process, awarded to several local medical practices including Great Park Medical Group and Northwood Medical Practice, is aimed at supporting patient access and improving life expectancy in Birmingham and Solihull. The contract was signed on 1st September 2025, with services running until 31st March 2026, and includes a prospective 12-month extension option.
Procured under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, this award bypasses the typical requirements of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, adopting a direct award process due to exceptional circumstances requiring continuity of service.

The contracts, valued in totality at several hundred thousand pounds, allow for both autonomous and collaborative work within a network context, offering SMEs a chance to contribute to public health policy and strategic objectives.
Businesses with proven track records in health service delivery and those seeking to expand their influence in regional healthcare provision will find these contracts particularly lucrative. The requirement for continuity and established service provision standards implies that well-established, regionally familiar providers stand the best chance to compete successfully.
