NHS Awards Medical Practice Services Contract

NHS North East London Integrated Care Board has announced its intention to award a contract for medical practice services, specifically focusing on wound care, to New Cross Alliance PCN. This decision comes after consideration of the existing provider's satisfactory performance in delivering services to residents registered with GPs in Havering, Redbridge, and Barking and Dagenham.

The total contract value is approximately £28,996, covering a period from April 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025. This award is part of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) regulations, which guide the awarding process for healthcare services in the UK. The existing provider has demonstrated an ability to satisfy the requirements of the contract, which contributed to this decision.

New Cross Alliance PCN, based in Ilford, is expected to continue providing high-quality post-operative wound care services to meet the local community's needs. Notably, the awarding of this contract marks a crucial step in ensuring timely and efficient healthcare delivery in the specified regions.

Stakeholders interested in this contract have until November 14, 2024, to present any representations to the NHS, marking the start of the standstill period in accordance with the regulations. The contract is yet to be formally awarded, but this notice signals the intent to proceed under the PSR framework.
