Summary of the contracting process

The Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust has issued a confirmation of contract award for the provision of Pathfinder Services, which support adult survivors of sexual abuse and sexual violence. This initiative falls within the industry category of health services and is to be implemented across the UKD3 region. The contract, effective from 1st November 2025 to 31st March 2028, was awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, with a direct award process outlined mainly due to the successful performance of the existing provider. The total contract value is £155,934, and this marks the beginning of the contract's service delivery phase.

Organisations that are capable of demonstrating their proficiency in this niche area and have a track record of delivering similar services efficiently are poised to leverage such opportunities. Although the contract has been awarded through a limited process without prior competition calls, businesses in the sector are advised to maintain readiness for future opportunities in similar tenders, thereby enhancing their competitive edge in public healthcare procurements.
