Summary of the contracting process

The Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust has recently updated the contracting process for a public procurement initiative titled "PSR Direct Award C - Post autism diagnosis support". The procurement falls under the Health services industry category and is managed under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) as per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This contract involves post autism diagnosis support services in Northumberland, with a confirmed award date of 15th April 2025. Services are planned to be delivered between 1st April 2025 and 31st March 2027, with an option for extension up to two additional years. The procurement method utilised is a direct award process without prior publication of a competitive call, emphasizing a limited procedure facilitated by Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust, located in Newcastle Upon Tyne.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in health services, particularly those with expertise in autism care and post-diagnosis support. The contract has an annual value of £207,800, providing substantial revenue potential for qualified providers. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a track record in healthcare support services, similar to The Toby Henderson Trust—an SME and the awarded supplier—would be well-suited to seize this opportunity. Companies looking to expand their portfolio in the public health sector, especially within the UKC region, are encouraged to consider engaging with similar direct award processes. Such engagements not only provide business growth through steady contracts but also enhance reputation through association with established public health bodies like the NHS Foundation Trust.
