How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a 'direct award' — meaning the NHS has chosen Chapel End Surgery without a competitive tender process. If you are Chapel End Surgery or already involved, check your existing contract terms; if you're a potential subcontractor or partner, contact the surgery directly to ask about involvement.
- 2The contract runs for exactly 2 years (1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028). Mark this end date clearly—the NHS may re-tender or extend after this, so plan ahead.
- 3The services listed (DOAC, ECG, phlebotomy, etc.) are 'enhanced'—meaning they go beyond standard GP care. Check whether you have the staff, equipment, and training already in place for each service, as the NHS will expect established capacity.
- 4This is an NHS contract using 'Provider Selection Regime' regulations—a specific procurement framework. Don't expect a traditional tender with open bidding. If you want to know more about subcontracting opportunities, contact NHS Coventry and Warwickshire ICB directly.
- 5Pay close attention to the Asylum Seeker Services element—this may require specific safeguarding training, data protection measures, and sensitivity to vulnerable patients. Budget time and resources accordingly.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're a small provider without all these capabilities, consider approaching Chapel End Surgery to offer subcontracting support in one or two areas (e.g. specialist wound care training, phlebotomy staffing, or spirometry interpretation) rather than bidding for the whole contract.
- Asylum Seeker Services is growing in demand and can be a differentiator. If you have expertise here (language support, trauma-informed care, immigration health knowledge), highlight this when talking to the commissioned provider or the ICB.
- Start building relationships now with NHS Coventry and Warwickshire ICB. Direct awards happen again, and understanding their priorities on wound care, anticoagulation, or respiratory services could help you win future business—either as a main provider or a specialist partner.
