Summary of the contracting process

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board procured health and social work services for a GP-led primary-care pathway for diagnosing and managing heavy menstrual bleeding, also called menorrhagia. The service is intended for patients in North Tyneside and covers assessment and management within primary care rather than a general hospital-based service. The named buyer is the Integrated Care Board, which commissions healthcare services across the North East and North Cumbria. The requirement was structured as a single lot. The selected provider is TyneHealth Limited, an existing provider of the service. The procurement therefore concerns a defined community and primary-care clinical pathway for heavy menstrual bleeding, delivered in North Tyneside for the local patient population.

The procurement is recorded at the awarded and contract stage. TyneHealth Limited was selected under Direct Award C of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition. The award date was 1 July 2026 and the contract is recorded as active. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with services delivered from the start date under an implied contract. Its value is £16,505, although activity is ad hoc. The assessment used the existing provider’s performance and expected ability to meet the proposed requirement, with quality and cost each described as 100% criteria. One bid was recorded. The lot itself is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are active.

This procurement indicates demand for providers able to deliver a complete GP-led pathway for heavy menstrual bleeding in primary care, including diagnosis, clinical assessment and ongoing management. A credible competitor would need an established primary-care clinical model, suitably qualified healthcare staff, referral and patient-management arrangements, and the capacity to provide the service locally in North Tyneside. The decision shows that continuity and satisfactory performance of an existing service were central to the selection, alongside the ability to meet the proposed requirements to a sufficient standard. Suppliers preparing for a future requirement from this buyer should therefore be able to evidence reliable delivery, clinical quality, patient access and effective cost control for an ad hoc community healthcare service.
