Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board procured ECG interpretation for Holter monitoring. The service involves interpreting electrocardiograms; the stated scope does not describe equipment supply or clinical monitoring. Delivery is associated with the North East and North Cumbria area. The buyer is the integrated care board serving that area. The procurement is for healthcare services, rather than goods or construction work. The selected provider is named Holter Monitoring.

The process used the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and Direct Award C, without a prior competition. The contract is recorded as active and signed on 1 July 2026, with Holter Monitoring selected as provider. Its stated value is £269,760. The service period is 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027; the procurement description says services were already being delivered under an implied contract. The buyer’s stated intention-to-award terms set a deadline of midnight on 7 October 2026 for provider representations and say formal award would follow the standstill period. Evaluation relied on the incumbent’s performance and expected ability to meet the proposed contract to a sufficient standard, with quality and cost each listed at 100%.

This procurement shows demand from the integrated care board for Holter-monitoring ECG interpretation, delivered as an ad hoc healthcare service. The chosen supplier was the existing provider, which the buyer assessed as satisfying the original contract and likely to deliver the proposed service to a sufficient standard. A credible competitor at a future procurement would therefore need to demonstrate dependable ECG interpretation and evidence of performance against the buyer’s service requirements. The stated evaluation gives weight to both quality and cost, so suppliers would need a convincing account of clinical service standards alongside a competitive commercial offer. This is a focused opportunity for providers with relevant ECG interpretation capability and the capacity to deliver the service across the buyer’s area.
