## Summary

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board has recently awarded a contract titled "Targeted Support Ex-Mining Communities - COPD" under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This procurement falls within the services industry category, specifically community health services, and is strategically aimed at improving respiratory outcomes in ex-mining communities within the UKC region, specifically under the urgent circumstances provision. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract starting on 1st June 2026 and ending on 1st February 2027. The total contract value is £342,000, covering 15 lots across various GP practices and PCNs embedded within the target communities. The procurement method was limited, involving a direct award due to the urgent requirement for rapid mobilisation of services.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities for healthcare providers that can offer respiratory improvement programmes and are already operating within or can quickly mobilise in the specified regions of the North East. The initiative involves partners providing targeted care using standards set by NHS England, offering businesses a chance to reinforce their reputation for delivering quality healthcare services while helping reduce health inequalities in vulnerable communities. Companies with expertise in community health services, particularly those with a focus on respiratory care, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future, as they can leverage their experience and readiness to meet stringent healthcare delivery expectations.

## Notice

The contract supports delivery of a targeted respiratory improvement programme across identified GP practices within mining communities. Providers will deliver case-finding, assessment and optimisation of patients with respiratory conditions, in line with nationally defined metrics and local programme requirements. The service is time-limited to November reporting requirements and aims to improve early identification, diagnosis, and management of respiratory disease, contributing to improved patient outcomes and reduced health inequalities. Delivery will be undertaken by selected practices/PCNs already serving the target population, with performance monitored against agreed activity, outcome and reporting measures aligned to NHS England expectations.
