Primary Care Enhanced Services - Walsgrave Health Centre

The NHS Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) has concluded a contracting process for Primary Care Enhanced Services at the Walsgrave Health Centre, using a direct award method under the Provider Selection Regime regulations. The procurement, focused on health services, spans a period from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026 and is situated in Coventry and Warwickshire. The current procurement stage is the award phase, and the contract has an associated value of £33,000.

This process was undertaken without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the procurement falling outside the directive's application scope, and aimed to address the provision requirements consistently met by the incumbent provider, Walsgrave Health Centre. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses within the health services sector to understand the landscape of direct award contracts in the UK and the strategic application of Provider Selection Regime regulations. Companies specializing in primary care and similar healthcare services may find strategic insights from observing such award methodologies for further engagement opportunities.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) could potentially benefit by exploring areas where they might propose viable alternative service provisions to participate in future competitive processes, should the provision landscape or applicable regulations change.
