Summary of the contracting process

The Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust is set to award a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Direct Award Process C for health services to Hope Haven. The contract is intended to be a direct award to iCan for services in Newcastle and Gateshead, with a focus on counselling provision. This procurement falls under the category of health services, specifically CPV code 85100000. The contract will run from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027 and has an annual value of £150,890 excluding VAT, with the option to extend for an additional year subject to funding and need. Representations must be made by providers to the authority by 27 April 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for growth for providers specialising in healthcare services, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality counselling services. As a direct award, businesses familiar with the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and capable of maintaining satisfactory service standards may find this particularly beneficial. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially those located within the UKC region, could leverage this opportunity to establish or strengthen partnerships with a major NHS Foundation Trust. Being adept in healthcare regulations, such as the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, will be a valuable asset for potential suppliers in successfully engaging with this procurement process.
