About the buyer

Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust runs hospital and community services in Northumberland and North Tyneside as an NHS trust with its own procurement team. Tenders are advertised on the Due North portal, the trust's website and Contracts Finder. Smaller purchases go out as written quotes. Larger contracts follow a full tender process. A panel of staff and service users scores each tender against published criteria. Health and social care contracts can qualify for a lighter procurement regime with no EU advertising duty.

UK health spending has nearly quadrupled to £241.8bn in 2024/25, £20bn up on the year before. £140.6bn of that went to procurement, the biggest sector of UK public spending and the fastest-growing.

Over the past 5 years, most of Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust's contract awards have been in medical equipment and pharmaceuticals, software and information systems and health and social work.
