Respiratory Health Inclusion Service

The North Tyneside Borough Council has awarded a contract to the Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust to deliver a specialist Respiratory Health Inclusion Service. Procured under the Provider Selection Regime Most Suitable Provider option, the service is embedded within the North Tyneside Recovery Partnership to support adults who are at an increased risk of respiratory disease and face significant barriers when accessing mainstream healthcare. The scope of work includes providing respiratory assessments, diagnosis, treatment optimisation, smoking cessation interventions, clinical advice, and necessary onward referrals. The contract is valued at 70,380 pounds excluding VAT, with an initial term running from November 1, 2026, to October 31, 2027. There is a provision for a possible 12-month extension beyond the initial period. This initiative aims to improve health outcomes for vulnerable populations by integrating specialist respiratory care directly into recovery partnership services.
