Paediatric Respiratory Funding

The NHS Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board has issued a contract modification under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 for a paediatric respiratory service in Norfolk and Waveney, specifically classified under hospital and related services. The tender process has reached the contract modification stage, which was approved by the ICB Executive Director of Finance and Contracts on 5th January 2026. It involves increasing the funding for an existing paediatric physiotherapy post to support asthma care improvements for a twelve-month duration.

The key procurement category is services, and the modification does not fall under the Procurement Act Regulations 2024. The NHS Norfolk & Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the main contractor for this initiative, and the service is specifically targeted to the UKH15 region. This contract modification, valued at £14,000 in non-recurrent funding, presents potential growth opportunities for healthcare providers specialising in paediatric respiratory care, particularly those capable of supplying clinical specialist physiotherapy services.

Businesses that can offer expertise in paediatric respiratory improvements and physiotherapy services would be well-suited to engage with such tenders, as they aim to enhance healthcare outcomes for children and young people. Moreover, it strengthens partnerships with the NHS, which can provide long-term business opportunities in the sector. Participation in such tenders might also facilitate additional networking prospects within the healthcare community, setting a foundation for future projects in related fields.
