QHM-2025-7914 Clifton Court Medical Practice- Enhanced Services Contract

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board has completed a public procurement awarding the contract titled "QHM-2025-7914 Clifton Court Medical Practice- Enhanced Services Contract" under the Health Care Services regulations 2023. The procurement, categorised under health services, took place in the UKC region, specifically in Sunderland and Darlington locations. This contract, using a Direct Award Process A, started on 1 April 2025 and will conclude on 31 March 2026.

The award process was limited, with no publication of a call for competition, as stipulated by the current regulations which place the procurement outside the scope of the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024. This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in health services, particularly those capable of providing enhanced medical practice services such as DVT, IUS, and Ring Pessary treatments. The process used for this award suggests that businesses with existing relationships and recognised capabilities within the NHS framework, like the Clifton Court Medical Practice, are well-positioned to benefit.

Health care providers interested in expanding their portfolio or those already active in the North East and North Cumbria region should take note, as similar procurement methods may offer pathways for partnership growth and service enhancement in public health contracts.
