## Summary

The North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, a body governed by public law, has finalised the procurement process for the project titled "QHM-2025-8851 Queenstree Practice - Enhanced Services Contract," under the Health services category. This contract is located in the UKC region, specifically at Queenstree Practice in Billingham. The process involved the Direct Award Process A, bypassing usual procurement regulations and focusing on health care services under the Provider Selection Regime regulations of 2023. The main scope was spirometry services, starting from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. Notably, the procurement did not follow the traditional competitive bidding process due to the lack of realistic alternative providers, as justified by the procurement method rationale. The contract was signed on 1 October 2025 with Queenstree Practice as the supplier.

This contract represents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the healthcare service sector, particularly those with expertise in spirometry or related services. Companies capable of delivering high-quality health services with minimal competition due to specialised skills or geographic proximity may find similar direct awards beneficial for growth. Though Queenstree Practice was the awarded supplier, such procurement models highlight possibilities for niche healthcare providers to secure contracts without undergoing the customary competition, especially in areas where alternative providers are scarce. Businesses in the healthcare industry should consider strategising their offerings and relationships with health boards to increase their visibility for future opportunities like this.
