Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract titled "NENC067 Needs Led Autism Service Newcastle" under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, specifically using Direct Award Process C. This contract, valued at £60,000, focuses on providing miscellaneous health services related to autism for adults in Newcastle. The service period is from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. This procurement process falls under the 'services' category and bypasses the typical Public Contracts Regulations 2015, having been completed on 11th November 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services for autistic individuals, particularly those experienced in providing community-based support and care. With a focus on sustaining and improving services within Newcastle, businesses with a track record in health services and who comply with the PSR 2023 criteria would be well-suited for such opportunities. The current supplier, Daisy Chain Project Teeside, exemplifies the type of organisation effectively managing such contracts. Engaging in similar contracts can lead to expanded service portfolios and enhanced local presence for successful contenders.
