This contract, titled "Co Durham Acute Respiratory Infection Hubs Winter 25/26", falls under the miscellaneous health services category with an estimated service period from 1st December 2025 to 28th February 2026. The procurement was conducted under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023 due to urgent circumstances, thus bypassing the usual Public Contracts Regulations. The contract comprises six lots, each catering to different geographic regions within County Durham, and was awarded through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a competitive notice. The awards and contracts for each lot, totalling approximately £275,000, were signed on 4th November 2025. This project presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare services, especially those specialising in respiratory care and health service delivery. As the procurement was awarded without the typical competitive process, it highlights the necessity and urgency of the services, which could benefit established healthcare providers or companies capable of rapidly mobilising resources to meet critical health needs. Businesses with expertise in managing healthcare hubs and efficient patient care logistics would be well-suited to engage in similar future opportunities to support regional health initiatives under urgent public health demands. ## Notice Co Durham Acute Respiratory Infection Hubs Winter 25/26 This contract has been awarded under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR).
