The NHS in Coventry and Warwickshire is awarding a 2-year contract to provide specialist services normally found in hospitals, but delivered instead at a local GP practice (Godiva Group Practice). These services include blood tests, heart monitoring, wound care, and support for vulnerable groups like asylum seekers. This is a direct award to an existing provider, meaning the contract isn't being opened to competitive bidding.
Requirements
- Must be an existing provider already delivering these services
- Must be capable of delivering 12 specified enhanced primary care services: DOAC (anticoagulation therapy), ECG (heart monitoring), Leg Ulcer care, Anti-coagulation services, Phlebotomy (blood taking), Wound Care, Injectable medicines administration, FeNO testing (lung function), Pessaries (medical devices), Shared Care agreements, Spirometry (breathing tests), Special Allocations Scheme support, and Asylum Seeker Services
- Contract is awarded under 'direct award process C' of NHS Provider Selection Regime — meaning the buyer has chosen this provider without competitive tender
- Must be able to commence services 1st April 2026
- Services must continue through to 31st March 2028
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Deliver anticoagulation (blood-thinning) medication management services (DOAC and anti-coagulation services)
- Perform and interpret ECG (electrocardiogram) heart monitoring tests
- Assess and manage leg ulcer cases including dressing and monitoring
- Conduct phlebotomy services (blood draws and sample collection)
- Provide wound care dressing and management for various wound types
- Administer injectable medications in primary care setting
- Perform FeNO (fractional exhaled nitric oxide) testing for asthma diagnosis
- Fit and manage pessary devices for pelvic floor support

How to Read This Tender
- 1Understand 'direct award' — this contract is NOT open to new bidders. The NHS has already chosen Godiva Group Practice as the provider using regulations that allow them to skip competitive tendering. If you're not the existing provider, you cannot bid.
- 2Decode the service acronyms — DOAC, ECG, FeNO, and Spirometry are all clinical abbreviations for specific tests and treatments. The full tender documents will detail exactly what equipment, staff qualifications, and facilities are needed for each.
- 3Check the 'Provider Selection Regime' regulations cited — this is the NHS framework allowing direct awards. The full contract notice should clarify why competitive bidding was not used (usually because the existing provider meets needs effectively or there are continuity reasons).
- 4Look for the specifications section in full documents — this will detail performance standards, staffing qualifications (e.g., nurse training, phlebotomy certification), equipment requirements, and how success will be measured.
- 5Watch for integration requirements — these enhanced services must integrate with the wider GP practice and NHS system, so check for IT system compatibility, data sharing, and referral pathway requirements.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're NOT the current provider, this opportunity is closed to you as a new bidder — but consider whether you could approach Godiva Group Practice about subcontracting specific services (e.g., phlebotomy or leg ulcer care) if you have specialist capability. Many GP practices contract out elements of enhanced services.
- If you ARE the current provider, use this contract renewal to document your track record and patient outcomes across all 12 services — the NHS will want evidence you're delivering efficiently before renewing for another 2 years. Prepare data on waiting times, patient satisfaction, and clinical outcomes.
- Understand staffing costs — enhanced primary care services are labour-intensive (nurses, phlebotomists, respiratory technicians). If bidding or subcontracting, ensure you've budgeted for trained, regulated staff and their ongoing professional development, as NHS standards are strict.
