Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust commissioned plastic surgery triage services under the “Map my Mole” requirement. The work is classified as dermatology services and is intended to support the assessment and triage of patients requiring plastic surgery input, addressing immediate safety and quality-of-care risks. Delivery is for Northumberland. The selected provider, Community Dermatology Limited, is based in Plymouth and operates the Map My Mole service. This is a healthcare services opportunity for providers able to deliver dermatology-led triage within an NHS care pathway, rather than a construction, equipment supply or general administrative contract.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust used the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. It was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by immediate risks to safety and quality of care; the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply. Community Dermatology Limited was awarded the requirement on 1 July 2026 for £40,500 in total. The contract period is 1 July to 30 September 2026, with an option described for an extension of up to 12 months. Quality carried 100% of the evaluation weighting and cost 0%.

This award indicates demand from Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust for specialist dermatology and plastic surgery triage that can respond to urgent patient-safety and care-quality pressures. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in dermatology assessment, mole or skin-lesion triage, and referral decisions linked to plastic surgery services. Providers should also be able to operate an NHS-compatible clinical pathway across Northumberland and show that their service can support safe, high-quality decisions at the required scale. The award was quality-led rather than price-led, so relevant clinical governance, experienced professionals, robust triage processes and evidence of service quality would be central to competing when this requirement returns to market.
