## Summary

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board procured integrated diabetes services and spirometry. This is a healthcare services requirement, covering the delivery of diabetes support alongside spirometry provision in North East England. The stated purpose is to provide an integrated service for patients, combining diabetes-related care with respiratory testing. The procurement was managed by the Integrated Care Board, which is the public healthcare organisation responsible for the requirement. The selected supplier is Primary Healthcare Darlington Ltd, based in Darlington. The service sits within the health and social work services category and relates to the buyer’s neighbourhood health commissioning activity. It is a focused clinical service rather than a general medical supplies, construction or facilities management opportunity, so relevant businesses are likely to be healthcare providers with the clinical capability to deliver both elements as an integrated service.

The procurement has reached the award stage, with Primary Healthcare Darlington Ltd selected under Direct Award C of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and has an awarded value of £259,603. Its service period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with delivery already taking place under an implied contract from the start date. The procedure was a limited award without prior publication of a call for competition, rather than an open tender. One bid was recorded. Evaluation used quality and cost considerations, each recorded as 100%, with the existing provider assessed as satisfying the original contract and likely to meet the proposed requirement to a sufficient standard. The related lot is recorded as cancelled, although the award and contract are active.

This award indicates continuing demand from NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board for a combined diabetes and spirometry service, delivered through an existing-provider route rather than a competitive open tender. A credible future competitor would need to provide both diabetes care and spirometry within one coordinated service, with the clinical governance, qualified staff, operational capacity and local delivery arrangements needed for patient-facing healthcare. Evidence of consistently meeting service standards would be important, because the selected provider was judged against the existing contract’s performance and its likely ability to satisfy the proposed contract. Providers should therefore be able to demonstrate reliable delivery of integrated neighbourhood healthcare, appropriate respiratory testing capability, effective management of ad hoc activity and the ability to work within NHS commissioning and Provider Selection Regime requirements.
