UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured the Hepatitis C ‘Follow Me’ Peer Programme, a health and social care service supporting people affected by hepatitis C. The arrangement provides two peer workers with lived experience of hepatitis C. The workers are intended to bring personal experience into the delivery of peer support and related programme activity. The buyer is Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, based at City Campus, Hucknall Road, Nottingham. The service is associated with health and social work services. The requirement is focused on hepatitis C peer work rather than general clinical provision, so it is most relevant to organisations with experience supporting people affected by hepatitis C and delivering peer-led services in or alongside NHS settings.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was awarded to The Hepatitis C Trust and signed on 31 March 2025. The active contract runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, with a value of £124,296 including gross value, in GBP. There was one completed lot. The arrangement is a service-level agreement between Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust and The Hepatitis C Trust for two peer workers with lived experience of hepatitis C. The recorded outcome identifies The Hepatitis C Trust as the selected supplier. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, under the stated below-threshold procedure.

This procurement demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for hepatitis C peer support delivered by workers with lived experience, at a scale requiring two dedicated peer workers. Competitors seeking similar work would need a credible model for recruiting, supporting and managing peer workers, alongside strong understanding of hepatitis C and the needs of affected communities. Relevant experience of delivering health or social care services, peer-led support and programmes working with NHS organisations would strengthen a supplier’s position. The selected provider is a large organisation focused on hepatitis C, indicating that specialist subject knowledge and an established service-delivery capability are important. Organisations able to combine lived-experience engagement with dependable workforce management and NHS-facing delivery are the closest fit for this buyer’s requirement.
