QHM-2025-7518 Bankhouse Surgery - Enhanced Services Contract

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is set to award a contract titled "QHM-2025-7518 Bankhouse Surgery - Enhanced Services Contract" under the Direct Award Process A, as specified by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations of 2023. This procurement, located in the UKC region, specifically Sunderland, falls within the health services industry category. The procurement stage is at the 'Award' stage with the contract starting on 1st April 2025 and ending on 31st March 2026.

While the projected contract value is not determined, it is nominally listed as £0.01 due to it being an activity-based service with no guaranteed contract value. This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses already engaged in healthcare service provision, particularly those capable of delivering enhanced service offerings like spirometry. The contract has been set without a prior call for competition due to the absence of viable alternative providers, suggesting that well-established healthcare entities such as large medical practices or existing service providers are best positioned to compete.

Such businesses can leverage this to expand their service offering and establish a more robust presence in regional healthcare service delivery frameworks.
