Summary of the contracting process

The Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for the provision of health services, specifically counselling services to Hope Haven, under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Direct Award Process C. The procurement falls under the services category within the health services industry. This contract, valued at £55,106 annually, is set to run from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with a potential extension of a further 12 months subject to funding or need. Located at the West End Community Centre, Westminster Road, Morecambe, this process indicates a movement into the procurement stage of award, with final amendments clarified on 26th June 2026. This regime offers a direct award without the usual public call for competition due to the specific nature of the services required.

This procurement opportunity situates itself well for service providers within the health and counselling sectors, offering potential for business growth, particularly for providers of specialised counselling services. Small to medium-sized businesses experienced in community-based service delivery could find entering into such contracts advantageous. The procurement method adopted by the NHS Trust allows for direct engagement with capable service providers, thus streamlining processes and opening up niche service markets, rewarding those businesses with proven capability in supporting community health needs.
