NHS Coventry and Warwickshire is awarding a 2-year contract (April 2026 to March 2028) to deliver enhanced primary care services through GP practices. These are specialist services normally found in hospitals or clinics but delivered in general practice settings — things like blood tests, wound care, heart monitoring, and leg ulcer treatment.
Requirements
- Must be an existing provider of these services (this is a direct award to current providers, not open competition)
- Must be able to deliver services from 1st April 2026
- Must provide all 12 service lines: DOAC monitoring, ECG, Leg Ulcer management, Anti-coagulation, Phlebotomy, Wound Care, Injectables, FeNO testing, Pessaries, Shared Care, Spirometry, Special Allocations Scheme, and Asylum Seeker Services
- Must comply with NHS contracting standards and Provider Selection Regime regulations
- No specific clinical qualifications or certifications listed in this notice — check full tender documents for staff competency requirements
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Deliver DOAC (blood thinner) patient monitoring and review
- Perform and interpret ECG (heart) tests in practice
- Assess and manage leg ulcers
- Manage patients on anti-coagulation therapy
- Provide phlebotomy (blood draw) services
- Deliver wound care and dressing services
- Administer injectable medicines
- Conduct FeNO (asthma/airway inflammation) testing
- Fit and manage pessaries (medical devices)
- Coordinate shared care arrangements with secondary care
- Perform spirometry (lung function) testing
- Manage Special Allocations Scheme patients
- Provide primary care services to asylum seekers
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a 'direct award' — not competitive bidding. The NHS is extending the contract with existing providers rather than opening it to new bidders. If you're not already delivering these services in Coventry and Warwickshire, you likely cannot bid.
- 2The notice mentions 'Provider Selection Regime regulations' — this is the legal framework NHS uses. The full tender documents will contain the detailed clinical specifications, staffing requirements, access standards, and quality metrics you must meet.
- 3Watch for the difference between 'enhanced services' and core GP services — enhanced means extra things GPs do beyond standard appointments. You need clarity on which staff deliver which service (GPs, nurses, phlebotomists, etc.) and what training/certification is needed.
- 4The contract has 12 distinct service lines. Check if you must deliver all 12 or if you can bid for a subset. Some may need specialist staff (e.g., anticoagulation clinics need trained nurses; wound care needs dressing skills).
- 5Look carefully at 'Special Allocations Scheme' and 'Asylum Seeker Services' in the full documents — these often have specific regulatory requirements and may need additional safeguarding training or language support.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're a small GP practice or primary care provider, you may not deliver all 12 services in-house. Explore subcontracting or partnership with specialist nurses, wound care teams, or anticoagulation clinics to cover gaps. The NHS often accepts 'hub and spoke' delivery models.
- This is a 2-year contract (not longer), so budget for setup costs but know it has a defined end date. Plan early for contract renewal discussions or consider whether you want to commit resources for a shorter term.
- As an existing provider, you have an advantage — use your current performance data (e.g., patient satisfaction, wait times, outcomes) to strengthen any variation or contract extension discussions. Document your delivery quality now to support future bids.
