Summary of the contracting process

The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for a breast screening service. The focus of the service falls under the health services category and is geographically positioned in the North East of England, specifically in the UKC region. The contract was awarded through a limited procurement method, specifically under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) as per the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. Importantly, the Procurement Act 2023 provisions do not apply here. The decision was made official on 16th June 2026, with the standstill period commencing on 17th June 2026. Representations must be filed by the end of this standstill period.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly large-scale providers that can integrate, innovate, and sustain service delivery in alignment with public health goals. Given the assessment criteria—quality, value, integration, access, and social value—businesses with strong credentials in these areas would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. As a service integrated into the regional healthcare framework, it provides entry points for collaboration and further contract opportunities within NHS Trusts, promoting a sustainable and equitable health service expansion.
