## Summary

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board commissioned a healthcare service providing spirometry and FeNO testing. These are respiratory diagnostic tests used to assess lung function and support clinical diagnosis and management. The requirement is categorised as health and social work services and is associated with the North East of England, including the buyer’s area in Sunderland. The service is being delivered by TyneHealth Limited, the existing provider. The arrangement covers ad hoc testing activity rather than a fixed volume of services. It is therefore relevant to providers with the clinical capability, staffing and operational systems to deliver spirometry and FeNO testing for NHS patients across the commissioning area.

The procurement has reached an intention-to-award and contract stage under the Provider Selection Regime. The buyer used Direct Award C, without a prior competition, because the existing provider was assessed as able to continue meeting the requirement. TyneHealth Limited is the selected supplier and the contract is recorded as active, with a signature date of 1 July 2026. The contract period is 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, and its stated value is £116,007; the buyer notes that the final value cannot be confirmed because delivery is ad hoc. Evaluation recorded quality and cost criteria, each described as 100%. Representations had to reach decision-makers by midnight on 23 September 2026, during the PSR standstill period.

For a supplier considering this buyer’s future respiratory diagnostics requirements, the procurement indicates demand for a clinically capable provider of spirometry and FeNO testing, with the capacity to respond to variable, ad hoc referrals rather than only scheduled volumes. The selected supplier was the incumbent and was judged to be satisfying the original contract and likely to deliver the proposed service to a sufficient standard. A credible competitor would therefore need demonstrable experience delivering these tests in an NHS or comparable healthcare setting, reliable clinical staffing, suitable testing equipment and processes for maintaining service quality across the commissioning area. The buyer’s use of a Provider Selection Regime direct-award route also makes familiarity with PSR requirements and evidence against its key criteria commercially relevant.
