QHM-2025-8225 Jubilee Medical Group Home Visiting (Sedgefield 1)

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract titled "Jubilee Medical Group Home Visiting (Sedgefield 1)" in the services sector, specifically for home medical treatment services. This contract was awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 through a direct award process, bypassing the typical procurement frameworks like the Procurement Act 2023. This means there was no prior publication call for competition.

The contract, valued at £45,475, commenced on 1 April 2025 and is set to conclude by 31 March 2026, covering regions from UKC to UKK. The award phase has been completed, and the contract became active following a standstill period which ended mid-August 2025. This procurement represents a robust opportunity for businesses involved in healthcare service delivery.

Although the procurement method was limited to an existing provider, businesses with capabilities in home medical services and aspirations to grow in this domain could benefit by observing the requirements satisfied by the Jubilee Medical Group. Such businesses should focus on aligning with the NHS's criteria and exploring future contract opportunities where similar selection regimes may apply. Engaging in this sector can lead to expanded service offerings and elevated recognition within the healthcare industry.
