QHM-2025-7835 Chastleton Medical Group - Enhanced Services Contract

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is initiating the "Chastleton Medical Group - Enhanced Services Contract" through a direct award process under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023. This procurement falls within the health services industry category and is classified as a service contract. The awarding process is at a completed stage, with the contract set to begin on 1st April 2025 and conclude on 31st March 2026.

The services, covering the DVT Pathway, Intermediate Care Plus Beds, and Primary Care Local Improvement & Integration Scheme (LIAISE), will be delivered in the UKC region without a guaranteed contract value as they are activity-based. The contract was awarded without prior publication, as permitted under certain regulatory conditions. This procurement presents opportunities for large health services providers, particularly those capable of delivering a range of integrated care solutions under existing agreements.

Businesses with expertise in service delivery within the healthcare sector, particularly in areas related to DVT care and intermediate care infrastructure, could find strategic growth opportunities in engaging with the NHS framework. Given the direct award process and the specialised nature of the services, firms with established performance and credibility in similar healthcare contexts are likely well-positioned to leverage this opportunity for business expansion.
