The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is set to award the "QHM-2025-9778 Stanley Medical Group - Enhanced Services Contract" under the Direct Award Process A, specified by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023. The procurement process is categorised under "Health services," focusing on enhancing local healthcare schemes such as the Primary Care Local Improvement & Integration Scheme (LIAISE) and DVT Pathway. This contract corresponds to locations in the UKC region and follows a limited procurement method, bypassing the standard call for competition.

The contract is valued at £0.01 and details a start date of 1st April 2025, with an end date of 31st March 2026. Notably, although the listed start date is in April, the services had been provided previously on an implied contract basis.

This tender presents substantial opportunities, particularly for businesses well-versed in providing health services and capable of delivering existing service enhancements in primary care and community gynaecology. Given the specialised and direct award nature of this tender, suitable candidates would already possess established capabilities or partnerships in the healthcare domain within the UKC region. Focusing on quality and cost with a 100% emphasis on the criteria that no realistic alternative provider exists, it aligns with entities capable of integrating seamlessly into ongoing healthcare structures.

Businesses with a strategic focus on health service delivery and integration, especially those with innovative solutions for local improvement schemes, will find this contract pivotal for expanding their footprint in the healthcare sector.
