The procurement process involves NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, which has completed the award stage under the Direct Award Process A as part of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract, titled "QHM-2025-7846 The Headland Medical Centre - Enhanced Services Contract," falls under the industry category of health services and specifically pertains to spirometry. The contract focuses on the provision of enhanced services at The Headland Medical Centre in Hartlepool, located in the UKC region, with the contract running from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026.

The procurement method used was limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. This tender presents business growth opportunities particularly for large-scale businesses in the health sector capable of providing spirometry services. As the contract was awarded through a direct award process, businesses that specialise in health services and have the capacity to deliver specialised healthcare provisions are best suited to compete for similar future opportunities.

The NHS's preference for a single supplier approach based on no realistic alternative provider and quality criteria highlights the necessity for businesses in this field to establish a strong, reputable presence to align with similar procurement requirements.
