QHM-2025-9914 A86021 Holmside Medical Group Enhanced Services Contract

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is finalising a contract for the Holmside Medical Group Enhanced Services, focusing on health services under the CPV code '85100000' in the UKC region. This procurement has reached the award stage as of 11 October 2025, with the contract being active from 1 October 2025. It uses the Direct Award Process A, circumventing the typical provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024, and falls under regulations set by the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime 2023.

This service contract, valued at a nominal £0.01 due to its activity-based nature, has been awarded without prior competition due to the absence of other realistic service providers, running from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. This tender opens up opportunities for large medical service providers capable of delivering a diverse range of health-related services such as androgen deprivation injections and PSA monitoring. The absence of competitive bids suggests niche expertise or specialised capacity is required, potentially enabling expansion for existing large healthcare organisations or groups familiar with the NHS systems and regulations.

Companies already operating within the healthcare sector, particularly those with strong capabilities in managing complex health-related services contracts, would be well-suited to engage and potentially expand their footprint in the UK regions, leveraging their experience to deliver comprehensive healthcare solutions effectively.
