Summary, notice description and lot information
The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is set to award the "QHM-2025-7842 Cambridge Medical Group - Enhanced Services Contract" for health services, specifically spirometry, under a Direct Award process. Although the contract officially begins on 1 April 2025 and ends on 31 March 2026, services have been delivered on an implied contract basis. Located in the UKC region, the award process is conducted according to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023, outside the scope of traditional procurement regulations.
The procurement method is limited, with no prior publication of a call for competition. This contract presents opportunities for businesses specialised in healthcare, particularly those offering spirometry services, to potentially engage and collaborate with the NHS. However, as the Direct Award process highlights the selection of a supplier with no realistic alternative provider, large, existing healthcare providers, such as the awarded Cambridge Medical Group, may be better positioned to meet these criteria and ensure quality delivery of services.
Collaborations or partnerships with existing contractors could be a strategic avenue for smaller organisations aiming to grow within the healthcare sector.
Spirometry The relevant authority intends to award this contract under the Direct Award Process A under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024 do not apply to this award. The contract value is PS0.01. The contract value cannot be confirmed as the services are activity based contracts with no guaranteed contract value. Contract Start Date: 01 April 2025 Contract End Date: 31 March 2026 Although the contract start is 01/04/2025, the services have been delivered on an implied contract. This is an existing service and existing provider.
