Summary of the contracting process

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is procuring short-term acute respiratory infection services for winter pressures in North Tyneside. The requirement is an existing Acute Respiratory Infection service, delivered as a local healthcare service for patients in North Tyneside. The procurement covers miscellaneous health services, including the service-specific provision needed to respond to seasonal demand. The Relevant Authority is the Integrated Care Board, based in Sunderland. Delivery is in North Tyneside, with the awarded supplier being TyneHealth Ltd, an SME based in North Shields. This opportunity is therefore relevant to healthcare providers able to deliver acute respiratory infection services locally and work with an NHS integrated care system.

The procurement has been awarded through the Provider Selection Regime 2023 using a Most Suitable Provider assessment and Direct Award Process C. The award was made to TyneHealth Ltd on 29 July 2026, following a restricted procedure and a single expression of interest. The services run from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with an estimated two-year term. The contract value is £400,500 including the stated contract value in the tender and signed contract. Evaluation considered service-specific requirements (33.87%), quality and innovation (30%), integration and collaboration (14.52%), social value (10%), value (8.71%), and improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice (2.90%), alongside agreement to the financial envelope.

This award demonstrates established NHS demand in North Tyneside for providers able to deliver acute respiratory infection services during periods of winter pressure. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability against the PSR criteria, particularly service-specific requirements, clinical quality, innovation, integration with NHS partners and collaborative working. Providers should also be able to show how their service improves access, reduces health inequalities and facilitates patient choice, while delivering measurable social value and working within the buyer’s financial envelope. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a suitably capable smaller healthcare organisation rather than only by a large national provider. Local delivery and understanding of North Tyneside healthcare needs are commercially relevant.
