QHM-2025-7423 Oakfields Health Group - Enhanced Services Contract

The procurement process for the "QHM-2025-7423 Oakfields Health Group - Enhanced Services Contract" involves NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board as the buying organisation. This contract relates to health services, specifically covering areas such as the DVT Pathway and Enhanced Community Gynaecology Service, with services delivered in the UK region labelled as "UKC". The procurement has reached the award stage as of 7th October 2025, with a contract period starting on 1st April 2025 and ending on 31st March 2026.

The award was made using a Direct Award Process under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) 2023 regulations, which do not fall within the scope of the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024. The contract value is set at £0.01, with the understanding that it is an activity-based service without a guaranteed contract value. This tender offers substantial opportunities for health service providers, particularly those specialising in community and integrated care solutions.

Suppliers already operating within the health services sector, especially in the United Kingdom, may find growth prospects through continued engagement with NHS bodies. This contract is suited to experienced organisations that can demonstrate specialised capabilities in delivering healthcare services efficiently and effectively, given it was awarded under a limited procurement method due to the presence of no realistic alternative providers. Companies with a robust understanding of the local healthcare landscape and those positioned in or with access to the North East and North Cumbria region are well-placed to capitalise on such opportunities.

The nature of the services suggests a preference for suppliers who can ensure continuity and quality within established frameworks.
