QHM-2025-7806 Normanby Medical Centre - Enhanced Services Contract

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is set to award a contract titled "QHM-2025-7806 Normanby Medical Centre - Enhanced Services Contract" in the health services industry. This procurement, under the Direct Award Process A, is specifically for spirometry services and bypasses the traditional Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024. The procurement location is in the UKC region, indicating a focus on Sunderland and Middlesbrough areas.

The contract runs from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, and although it formally starts in April, services are already being delivered on an implied contract basis. This procurement is at the award stage, finalised on 1st October 2025. As this tender is being directly awarded without prior publication for competition, businesses with significant experience in health services, especially those providing spirometry-related offerings, should take note of the opportunities for similar direct award contracts in future.

Although current opportunities are limited due to the absence of competition, businesses specialising in these services might consider establishing relationships with the buying organisation to explore similar contractual opportunities. This could be especially advantageous for large-scale suppliers familiar with or geographically situated in the North East and North Cumbria region, as demonstrated by the participation of Normanby Medical Centre.
