Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board bought 24-hour ambulatory ECG services: electrocardiogram monitoring delivered over a 24-hour period. The service is healthcare provision, rather than the supply of equipment alone. The stated scope is brief and relates to ad hoc service delivery under a contract. Delivery is associated with the North East and Cumbria area; the procurement data identifies the region as UKC, which covers the North East, but does not give a more specific delivery town or clinic. Mansion House Surgery, based in Cumbria, was selected to provide the service. This is a specialist clinical service opportunity for providers able to deliver ambulatory ECG monitoring for NHS patients and meet the relevant healthcare service requirements.

The contract has been formally awarded to Mansion House Surgery under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using Direct Award Process C. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and covers 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027; services had already been delivered under an implied contract from the start date. The recorded contract value is £14,606.88, although the procurement description says the final value cannot be confirmed because services are ad hoc. The buyer described the existing provider as meeting the original contract and likely to meet the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. The stated evaluation gave both quality and cost a 100% weighting. One contract was awarded; the selection was made without a prior call for competition.

This award shows that NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board commissions ambulatory ECG monitoring as an ad hoc healthcare service, and that it used the Provider Selection Regime’s Direct Award Process C to continue with an existing provider. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate the clinical capacity to deliver 24-hour ECG monitoring reliably, and evidence that its service meets NHS healthcare requirements. Performance against the existing service matters: the buyer’s stated rationale was that its incumbent was satisfying the current contract and was expected to meet the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. Providers should therefore be able to show service quality as well as cost effectiveness. The requirement is a focused clinical service rather than a large equipment or infrastructure procurement.
