Summary of the contracting process

The Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract titled "PSR Direct Award C - Hope Haven - Home Group" for the provision of health services under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Direct Award Process C. This contract, valued at £1,097,749 excluding VAT, covers counselling services in Newcastle and Gateshead and runs from 1st April 2026 through 31st March 2027. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as it falls outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The standstill period has concluded, and the contract status is currently active. The NHS Foundation Trust's contact person is Gill Keane, based at St Nicholas Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne, with contact details for further inquiries.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in health and counselling services. The contract with Home Group Ltd, a large-scale supplier, illustrates a solid foundation for collaboration within the health services sector. Businesses capable of delivering high-quality services aligning with the PSR criteria may find similar opportunities in future procurement processes. Additionally, the possibility of contract extensions contingent on funding and needs suggests ongoing opportunities for qualified providers to engage with public sector health initiatives in the UKC region.
