QHM-2025-9996 Elm Tree Medical Centre - Enhanced Services Contract

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board intends to award the "QHM-2025-9996 Elm Tree Medical Centre - Enhanced Services Contract" as part of the health services industry category in the UKC region. The procurement process has reached the award stage under a limited procurement method, specifically a Direct Award Process under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023. This procedure falls outside the typical EU procurement directives, adhering to local regulations that bypass the needs of prior publication.

The contract is slated to commence on 1 April 2025 and conclude on 31 March 2026, with services already being provided under an implied agreement. Key decision-makers in the award process include roles such as the Chief Delivery Officer and the Director of Finance. This tender presents opportunities for business growth, particularly for large service providers in the health sector that can navigate the regulatory frameworks involved in direct awards.

It suits businesses capable of delivering specialised medical services such as spirometry without reliance on traditional competitive bidding processes. Given the limited nature of the procurement with a focus on continuity, companies with established relationships or existing service agreements in the sector may find this an advantageous opportunity to consolidate their position and expand service delivery within the North East and North Cumbria region.
