The intended contract is valued at £24,974,127.67 and is set to commence on 1st February 2026 for a duration of five years and two months, with a possible extension of two additional years.

The procurement process has followed a limited method, awarding the contract without prior public invitation for competition, favouring a Most Suitable Provider (MSP) approach under the PSR specified criteria. Businesses within the healthcare industry aiming for growth and expansion in the North East and Cumbria regions will find this an excellent opportunity to establish long-term partnerships with the NHS.
