Primary Care Enhanced Services- Revel Surgery

NHS Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) has completed the procurement of Primary Care Enhanced Services at Revel Surgery, located in Coventry and Warwickshire, under the industry category of health services. This award, dated 1st April 2025, marks the culmination of a tender process using a direct award method without prior competition, as governed by the Provider Selection Regime regulations. The contract, valued at £66,000, spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, focusing on services such as Additional Enhanced Services, Shared Care, and Phlebotomy.

Notably, the procurement was awarded under the rationale that there were no realistic alternative provisions, as outlined in the award criteria, thus bypassing the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Despite being awarded, some elements of the procurement process, specifically Lot 1, were later cancelled. This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those that can offer or have experience in direct patient care across multiple service lines, including anticoagulation and primary care enhancements.

Given the nature of the direct award and the focus on existing providers, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with established local operations and a track record of similar service delivery in the UK healthcare sector would be well-positioned to compete. The award to Revel Surgery indicates opportunities for existing service providers to tender for such contracts, especially in regions like Coventry and Warwickshire, where collaborative and integrated care approaches are increasingly valued.
