QHM-2025-1895 West Cornforth Medical Practice - Enhanced Services Contract

The procurement process for the contract titled "QHM-2025-1895 West Cornforth Medical Practice - Enhanced Services Contract" has been completed by NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, a public authority based in Sunderland, United Kingdom. This contract falls under the health services industry category and covers services such as DVT Pathway, Enhanced Community Gynaecology Service, Intermediate Care Plus Beds, and the Primary Care Local Improvement & Integration Scheme (LIAISE). Awarded through the Direct Award Process A in accordance with the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime 2023, this procurement did not follow the usual public procurement acts and regulations.

The contract, valued at a nominal £0.01, commenced on 1st April 2025, although service provision began informally prior to this date, spanning until 31st March 2026, primarily within the UKC region. The tender offers substantial business growth opportunities for health service providers capable of delivering comprehensive and integrated care solutions. As the procedure was limited and employed a direct award without a prior call for competition, it presents an opening primarily for large-scale providers already established in the market, like the awarded supplier, West Cornforth Medical Centre.

This tender demands businesses that can efficiently manage no guaranteed contract value and are ready to deliver under pre-existing service expectations within the community. Businesses that can demonstrate superior quality and cost management in similar settings might find potential similar direct award opportunities beneficial for growth.
