NHS Coventry and Warwickshire is awarding a 2-year contract (April 2026 to March 2028) to provide enhanced primary care services at Quinton Park Medical Centre. These are specialist services normally done in hospitals but delivered in GP practices, including blood tests, heart monitoring, wound care, and support for asylum seekers and people on blood thinners.
Requirements

- Services must commence 1st April 2026
- Contract runs for exactly 2 years (until 31st March 2028)
- Must deliver all 12 specified enhanced services: DOAC management, ECG testing, leg ulcer care, anticoagulation monitoring, phlebotomy (blood draws), wound care, injectable administration, FeNO testing (lung function), pessary fitting, shared care protocols, spirometry (breathing tests), and asylum seeker health services
- Must comply with NHS Coventry and Warwickshire ICB standards and Provider Selection Regime regulations

- Perform and interpret ECG (heart) tests in the practice
- Assess and treat leg ulcers in primary care
- Provide anticoagulation (blood thinner) monitoring and patient support
- Deliver phlebotomy services (blood sampling for tests)
- Provide wound care and dressing management
- Administer injectable medicines (vaccines, biologics, etc.)
- Conduct FeNO testing (exhaled nitric oxide — used for asthma diagnosis)

How to Read This Tender
- 1This is NOT an open tender — it's a 'direct award' to an existing provider. If Quinton Park Medical Centre already provides these services, they are being awarded the contract automatically without competition. If you're not the current provider, you cannot bid.
- 2The acronyms (DOAC, ECG, FeNO, etc.) are clinical services — check you understand each one before bidding. These are specialist skills typically found in secondary care, so you need clinical staff or partnerships to deliver them.
- 3The 'Provider Selection Regime' is an NHS regulatory framework — this tells you the contract follows specific NHS procurement rules, not standard UK government tendering (like Contracts Finder).
- 4The contract is short (2 years only) — factor in mobilisation time and that you'll need to plan for transition or renewal from April 2028.
- 5Look for the detailed specification document (not shown here) which will list patient numbers, service level targets (e.g., appointment waiting times), quality standards, and payment terms. Request this before deciding to bid or partner.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're a small GP practice or clinical provider without all these skills in-house, consider forming a consortium or subcontracting with specialists (e.g., phlebotomy partners, wound care nurses, respiratory physiologists) — the NHS often welcomes this and can improve your chances of delivery.
- Since this is a direct award to an existing provider, your opportunity as an SME is likely through partnership or subcontracting to the main provider. Contact Quinton Park Medical Centre now to discuss whether they need support delivering specific services (e.g., FeNO testing, leg ulcer clinic).
- Enhanced services are often high-margin and well-resourced by the NHS — ask for detailed activity data (how many ECGs per month, how many asylum seekers, etc.) to understand workload and staffing needs before committing, as underestimating can quickly eat into profit.
