Summary of the contracting process

The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured paediatric diabetes network support, classified as health services. The service provides assistance to patients and their families in connection with the Great North Children’s Hospital, with delivery associated with Leeds. The tender description identifies Leeds Teaching Hospitals as the service context, while the Newcastle trust is the buying organisation. The requirement is for a provider able to support children and families affected by diabetes through a network-based healthcare service. The awarded supplier, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, is a large NHS organisation. This opportunity is therefore relevant to NHS trusts, specialist paediatric diabetes providers and healthcare organisations with experience supporting children, families and clinical networks across Leeds and the North East.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used the Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process C, through a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition; the Procurement Act 2023 does not apply. The contract was awarded to The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and is recorded as active. The contract was signed on 1 April 2025. Its approximate value is £21,000 per year. There was one bid, submitted electronically, and the valid bid value was £21,000. The provider passed all five assessment criteria: quality and innovation; value; integration, collaboration and service sustainability; improving access, reducing inequalities and facilitating choice; and social value. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, although the associated award and contract are active.

This award shows demand for a focused paediatric diabetes support service linking patients, families and hospital-based care. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate strong clinical quality and innovation, value for money, and the ability to integrate with existing healthcare services and collaborate with relevant NHS teams. Evidence of sustainable service delivery would matter, alongside practical ways to improve access, reduce inequalities and support patient choice. Social value would also form part of the assessment. The successful model was an established large NHS provider, and the assessment considered both performance under the previous contract and the likelihood of meeting the proposed service standard. Suppliers should therefore be able to evidence continuity, reliable delivery and effective support for children and their families.
