QHM-2025-9187 Local Enhanced Services

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board has completed the award stage for the "QHM-2025-9187 Local Enhanced Services" contract, classified under health services. This procurement, conducted under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023, took place in Sunderland, UK, with the contract officially signed on 1 October 2025. The procurement method used was a limited process without prior publication of a call for competition, as the provision of services from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026 was deemed best served by the existing provider, Greystoke Surgery.

This award process falls outside the scope of the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024. This tender presents business growth opportunities for entities involved in health service delivery, particularly those already embedded within the healthcare sector or possessing expertise in population health management, flu immunisation, and primary care system engagement. The contract highlights the growing demand for specialized health services, offering a steady work stream, albeit without a guaranteed contract value.

Businesses with efficient service delivery capabilities and a strong presence in the healthcare industry would be well-positioned to benefit from such opportunities, especially given the closed, direct awarding nature of this procurement.
