Care commissioning in North East
North East councils have a strong tradition of collaborative procurement. Many care contracts run through shared arrangements such as those coordinated under NEPO, the North East Procurement Organisation, so a single framework can cover several authorities at once. Newcastle, Sunderland, Gateshead and the other Tyne and Wear councils, plus County Durham and Northumberland, buy large volumes of home care and supported living, and the Tees Valley authorities including Middlesbrough and Stockton add their own frameworks across the south of the region.
Most of the region sits under a single integrated care board, NHS North East and North Cumbria ICB, which is one of the largest in England by geography. That gives joint commissioning for continuing healthcare and discharge an unusually wide footprint. We track how NEPO and the individual councils run their care tenders, so each bid answers the questions that specific buyer scores rather than a generic regional template.

North East: common questions
What is NEPO and why does it matter for care tenders?
NEPO is the North East Procurement Organisation, a shared service many of the region's councils use to run frameworks. A single NEPO framework can cover several authorities, so understanding how it structures lots and scores quality is central to bidding in the North East.
Which North East councils commission care?
The Tyne and Wear authorities including Newcastle, Sunderland, Gateshead and South Tyneside, plus County Durham, Northumberland, and the Tees Valley councils such as Middlesbrough and Stockton-on-Tees. Many buy through collaborative frameworks.
Why does the North East have only one ICB?
NHS North East and North Cumbria ICB covers almost the whole region in one very large board, which is unusual. That means health funded care such as continuing healthcare is commissioned across a wide footprint, so it helps to know how that single board operates.
