Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council initiated the Paediatric Occupational Therapy Adaptations Interim Project for 2025-2026, focusing on health and social work services across various regions of the United Kingdom. Despite the tender's cancellation notice issued on 13 February 2026, an award to The Occupational Therapy Service Ltd was previously active, supporting the project from 17 December 2025 until 31 May 2026, with potential extension until 30 June 2026. This below-threshold procurement, under the 'light touch' regime, aimed to enhance service capacity for paediatric occupational therapy needs. The procurement method and title were legally grounded in UK's legislation 2023/54.

Though the tender was later cancelled, the initial contract award provided substantial growth opportunities for SMEs in the healthcare sector. Businesses with expertise in health and social work services were well-positioned to provide the necessary adaptations for paediatric occupational needs. The range of delivery locations across the UK indicated considerable scope for expanding service coverage and establishing long-term professional relationships within the public sector. Companies with agile mobilisation capabilities could have benefited from extensions based on timely delivery and effective service solutions. Potential similar opportunities might appear in future notices under the Provider Selection Regime, promising new avenues for business development in public health services.
