Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust commissioned a specialist Radiotherapy Coordinator service for paediatric oncology and radiotherapy patient pathways. The work covers multidisciplinary team coordination, referral management, patient liaison and associated clinical support, supporting children and young people receiving oncology and radiotherapy care. The service is classified as health services and medical specialist services. Delivery is centred at Birmingham Women’s and Children’s Hospital, Steelhouse Lane, Birmingham, for the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. The requirement is therefore relevant to NHS trusts, specialist paediatric oncology providers and clinical organisations able to coordinate complex radiotherapy pathways and provide patient-facing support across Birmingham. The service is a professional healthcare operation rather than a supply, construction or general administrative contract.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust was selected as the supplier by University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 for £22,432. It runs for 24 months from 1 September 2026. The buyer used a limited procedure: a Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process C without prior publication of a call for competition, because the services were considered deliverable only by a particular provider for technical reasons. The rationale states that the existing provider met the relevant PSR criteria and that no competitive process was undertaken. One bid was recorded. Evaluation was based entirely on quality, with price carrying no weight. The procurement lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract remain active.

This award indicates a focused NHS requirement for specialist coordination of paediatric oncology and radiotherapy pathways in Birmingham. A credible future competitor would need established clinical expertise in paediatric oncology or radiotherapy services, with the capability to coordinate multidisciplinary teams, manage referrals accurately and support patients and families throughout complex care pathways. Strong liaison with referring clinicians, treatment teams and patients would be central, alongside the governance, safeguarding and information-handling arrangements expected of an NHS healthcare provider. The buyer’s use of a direct award to the existing provider also shows the importance of demonstrable continuity, pathway knowledge and technical capability. Organisations considering similar work should be able to evidence reliable clinical support, experienced staff and effective integration with NHS services.
