Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is procuring 24-hour ambulatory ECG services. The requirement is for health and social care services involving ambulatory electrocardiogram monitoring, delivered across North East England. The service supports patients who need extended ECG monitoring rather than a single clinical reading, with activity carried out on an ad hoc basis. The identified provider is Mansion House Surgery, based in Cumbria. The buying organisation is the NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, which is responsible for arranging and funding the service. The procurement concerns a single service requirement rather than separate goods, construction works or multiple service packages.

The procurement has reached the award stage under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. It uses Direct Award C, without prior publication of a call for competition, because the existing provider was assessed as meeting the requirement. Mansion House Surgery was selected, with a contract value of £14,606.88. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 4 January 2026 to 31 March 2027; services from 1 April 2026 were delivered under an implied contract. The value is subject to ad hoc activity. Evaluation gave equal stated emphasis to quality and cost, each described as 100%, based on the provider’s performance under the original contract and likely ability to meet the proposed contract. Representations were due by midnight on 30 September 2026.

For a future competition for this requirement, credible suppliers would need to deliver 24-hour ambulatory ECG monitoring reliably across North East England and manage variable, ad hoc demand. Relevant capability would include appropriate clinical expertise, ECG monitoring equipment, patient scheduling, interpretation or reporting arrangements, secure handling of clinical information and timely communication with NHS services. The procurement indicates that continuity and demonstrated performance under an existing healthcare contract matter, alongside cost. Providers should therefore be able to evidence safe, consistent service delivery, capacity to respond to fluctuating referrals and quality assurance arrangements. Experience of working with NHS commissioners and meeting the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime’s key requirements would strengthen a supplier’s position when demonstrating that it can provide the service to a sufficient standard.
