The service involves providing ambulatory electrocardiography, allowing cardiac activity to be recorded over a full day for patients who may not receive a diagnosis from a short clinical ECG. Delivery is associated with the North East of England. The procurement is categorised as health and social work services. The named supplier is Mansion House Surgery, based in Whitehaven. The requirement sits within the buyer’s wider diagnostic services provision and is described as a direct access, non-obstetric diagnostic service, although the detailed requirement for this lot is specifically 24-hour ambulatory ECG. Services have been delivered under an implied contract from the stated start of the contract period. The procurement used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, as a Direct Award C. The intention was to retain the existing provider because it was satisfying the original contract and was expected to meet the proposed requirement. The published award names Mansion House Surgery as supplier, with one bid recorded, and the contract is recorded as active. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026, for the period 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its stated value is £135,983, although services are ad hoc and the value cannot be confirmed. Evaluation recorded quality and cost criteria, each described as 100%. Representations were due by midnight on 23 September 2026, before the standstill period ended. This procurement indicates demand from the Integrated Care Board for outsourced or directly accessible ambulatory cardiac monitoring in the North East of England. A credible future competitor would need to deliver 24-hour ambulatory ECG services reliably for referred patients, with the clinical capability, equipment, reporting processes and operational capacity to handle ad hoc activity. The incumbent was judged capable of continuing the service and was assessed against five key criteria under the Provider Selection Regime, so a returning supplier would need to demonstrate equivalent clinical quality, service continuity and value for money. Experience of working with NHS commissioners and established arrangements for referrals, patient access, monitoring, interpretation and reporting would strengthen a supplier’s position. ## Notice 24 Hour Ambulatory ECG ### Lot Information Lot 1 24 Hour Ambulatory ECG The relevant authority intends to award a contract to an existing provider under Direct Award C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023.
