## Summary

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, located in Sunderland, issued a contract for "Age Concern Tyneside South - Balance & Stability Service" under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023. This procurement relates to the geriatric services industry, with the tender exclusively awarded through a direct award process (Direct Award C), bypassing the typical competition process for publication. The contract commenced on 1st April 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2026, with a total value of £5,231. A standstill period was observed with representations due by 13th August 2025 prior to the formal contract award.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialised in providing geriatric care services to potentially engage with the NHS in future opportunities. Although the current contract was awarded directly to an existing provider, other businesses in the healthcare services sector can prepare for similar opportunities by aligning their services with the regulations and criteria laid out under the PSR framework. Companies that excel in fulfilling specified healthcare service delivery standards and managing conflicts of interest effectively may find themselves well-positioned for future direct awards or open competitions in the public healthcare sector.
