Summary of the contracting process

The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust commissioned Ways to Wellness services, under the title “Ways to Wellness”. This is a health services requirement, classified under CPV 85100000, for delivery in Newcastle upon Tyne. The service supports the Trust’s healthcare provision and is delivered by a specialist wellbeing provider. The contracting organisation is The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based at Freeman Hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne. The selected supplier is Ways to Wellness Limited, a Newcastle upon Tyne-based small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement concerns one service lot and is specific to the Trust’s local healthcare setting, rather than a general goods or construction opportunity.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage: Ways to Wellness Limited was selected and the contract is active. The award decision was made on 29 July 2026 and the contract was signed on 29 July 2026. The service is scheduled to run from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an approximate value of £67,478. The Trust used Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process C, an award procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. The award was assessed against five pass/fail criteria: quality and innovation; value; integration, collaboration and service sustainability; improving access, reducing inequalities and facilitating choice; and social value. The supplier passed every criterion. One bid was received, from an SME.

This award shows demand from the Trust for locally delivered health and wellbeing services supplied through the Provider Selection Regime. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate a proven record of delivering comparable services for the Trust or a similar healthcare organisation, together with a clear plan for maintaining service quality and introducing useful innovation. It would also need to show value for money, effective integration and collaboration with clinical and other public-sector teams, sustainable delivery, and the ability to improve access, reduce health inequalities and support patient choice. Strong social value commitments would be important, as would the capacity to deliver reliably in Newcastle upon Tyne and evidence of SME-scale delivery capability.
