QHM-2025-9149 Garth Surgery - Enhanced Services Contract

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is conducting a procurement process under the Direct Award Process A for the "QHM-2025-9149 Garth Surgery - Enhanced Services Contract," focusing on health services such as DVT and Spirometry. The procurement, classified under CPV code 85100000, is located in the UKC region. This process has reached the award stage as of 13th October 2025.

Notably, the contract has an unusual structure as it is an activity-based contract with no guaranteed value and a nominal stated value of £0.01. The contract is scheduled to run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, acknowledging that the services have already been delivered on an implied contract basis. This tender can present growth opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly in service provisions related to DVT and Spirometry.

The procurement method deployed is limited, which means the procedure was conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, indicating a more tailored and controlled procurement suitable for incumbents or providers with specific capabilities. Businesses that operate in the health services sector and are familiar with the region, possibly possessing the capacity to provide scalable health services, would find this contract an advantageous opportunity to solidify or enhance their presence in the healthcare industry, albeit the existing provider currently holds the contract.
