QHM-2025-9986 A85016 Wrekenton Medical Group GP Enhanced Services

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is overseeing a procurement process titled "QHM-2025-9986 A85016 Wrekenton Medical Group GP Enhanced Services," focusing on health services within the UKC region. The procurement is in the award stage, specifically under the Direct Award Process A, as outlined by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023. This procurement does not fall under the provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 or Procurement Regulations 2024.

The contract, which has a nominal value stated to align with activity-based services, starts on 1 April 2025 and ends on 31 March 2026, although services are being delivered on an implied contract. The procurement method employed is limited, bypassing the need for a prior call for competition, and the awarded contract is intended for Wrekenton Medical Group. This procurement presents opportunities for businesses within the health services sector seeking to engage in similar contracts with healthcare bodies.

It is particularly suitable for large-scale providers capable of delivering a wide array of medical and health-related services efficiently. Businesses specialising in services such as diabetes care, anti-coagulation, osteoporosis, and mental health within the UKC region could particularly benefit from this awarding process, especially those capable of handling contracts designated under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime). The absence of alternative providers in the locality further underscores the strategic advantage for businesses already established in the region.
