Primary Care Enhanced Services - Shipston Medical Centre

The procurement process for "Primary Care Enhanced Services - Shipston Medical Centre" has been conducted by NHS Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) using a limited procurement method. This contract, falling under the health services industry category (CPV: 85100000), encompasses services such as ECG, leg ulcer treatment, anti-coagulation, and others, to be delivered in Coventry and Warwickshire. The services were directly awarded under the Provider Selection Regime regulations, commencing from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, with the contract having been signed on 1st April 2025.

The procurement process bypassed a typical competitive tender due to its nature falling outside standard EU directive applications, and the award process has been completed, with Shipston Medical Centre as the supplier. This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those who provide niche care services like anti-coagulation and phlebotomy, to engage with regional NHS entities for similar future contracts. Although the award process is completed for this procurement, organisations with experience in healthcare services can prepare to compete in future procurements by demonstrating innovative practices and high-quality service provision that align with the ICB's objectives.

SMEs, like Shipston Medical Centre, have successfully managed to secure such contracts, indicating that agile, smaller-scale healthcare providers are well-positioned to meet the specific needs of regional healthcare initiatives.
