QHM-2025-8622 Carmel Medical Practice - Enhanced Services Contract

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board intends to award a contract under the Direct Award Process A, concerning the Enhanced Services for Health Care at Carmel Medical Practice. The procurement process is identified by the title "QHM-2025-8622 Carmel Medical Practice - Enhanced Services Contract" and falls under the healthcare services industry, with CPV classification 85100000. This contract is located in the UK region UKC, specifically at the Sunderland Enterprise Park.

The procurement stage is at the Award phase and has been completed, with the contract starting on 1st April 2025 and ending on 31st March 2026. Although the award was made through a limited procurement method, the legal frameworks such as the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024 do not apply. This tender offers significant potential for business growth, particularly for established healthcare providers looking to expand their service offerings in the North East and North Cumbria region.

The contract focuses on delivering enhanced health services, including DVT and IUS/Ring Pessary services, thereby appealing to service providers with expertise in these areas. As the procurement method was direct award, businesses should note that the opportunity is primarily suitable for cases where no realistic alternative providers are available, making it ideal for well-positioned, existing healthcare providers such as Carmel Medical Practice. The initiative supports activity-based contracts, an approach beneficial for practices equipped to scale services based on demand without a guaranteed contract value.
