Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Northamptonshire Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for "Adult Spirometry Services in Northamptonshire" under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This service addresses respiratory issues and aims to reduce demand for acute care services by providing spirometry testing in primary care settings. The contract, valued at £158,333, began on 1st July 2025 and is set to end on 30th June 2026, with the possibility of a 3-month extension. Located in the UKF24 and UKF25 regions, this contract was awarded through a limited procurement method to the National Services for Health Improvement (NSHI), bypassing the regular Public Contracts Regulations 2015 due to its urgency.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for health service providers, particularly those capable of delivering spirometry testing with ARTP-certified staff. Companies involved in respiratory healthcare services will find this an attractive opportunity, as it allows expansion into the Northamptonshire region by partnering with NHS bodies during critical healthcare delivery periods. Moreover, the contract supports business growth by ensuring companies can extend their expertise in respiratory diagnostics and treatments, reinforcing their market presence and fostering relationships within the healthcare sector.
