Summary of the contracting process

University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a community cancer-support service for its Macmillan Enfield – Improving Cancer Journeys project. The work is intended to support people affected by cancer in Enfield and improve their experience of the cancer journey. It falls within community, social and personal services. The named delivery area is Enfield; the procurement data does not describe particular service activities or delivery sites, so the project title is the clearest indication of its focus. The selected provider is The Nightingale Cancer Support Centre, an Enfield-based organisation. This is a service contract rather than a purchase of goods or construction work, and its stated scope centres on cancer support and improving journeys through cancer care.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to The Nightingale Cancer Support Centre. The award is dated 2 October 2026 and is valued at £228,333 excluding VAT (£274,000 including VAT). The award period runs from 14 October 2026 to 13 October 2028, with provision for two six-month extensions and a maximum end date of 13 October 2029. The tender used an open procedure. Two bids were received. Evaluation weighted quality at 80%, financial considerations at 10% and social value at 10%. There was one lot, marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The tender submission deadline was 1 September 2026, and the award decision period was due to conclude by 1 October 2026.

For suppliers considering similar work for University College London Hospitals, this award demonstrates demand for a community-based cancer-support service focused on improving patients’ journeys in Enfield. A credible competitor would need to show relevant experience supporting people affected by cancer, an ability to deliver services in the local community, and a clear approach to improving the support and experience available through cancer care. The evaluation strongly favoured service quality, while also assigning weight to social value and price, so evidence of effective delivery and meaningful community benefit would matter alongside a competitive cost model. The successful supplier is an established local cancer support centre. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable for the opportunity, indicating that organisations of those types can be relevant competitors when this specific requirement returns to market.
