Summary of the contracting process

NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board procured consultant-led pain management services for patients exercising patient choice. The service is a new service from a new provider and is to be delivered in Sheffield. The requirement sits within community health services and involves clinical provision rather than the supply of goods or construction works. The buyer is based at 197 Eyre Street, Sheffield. The selected provider, Pastel Health Ltd, is a London-based SME. The service is intended to support patients requiring specialist pain management through consultant-led care, with delivery linked to patient activity and choice. The procurement concerns one service requirement for the South Yorkshire health system, rather than a broader framework or multiple service categories.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Pastel Health Ltd under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. It used direct award process B, without prior publication of a call for competition, through a limited procedure. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and has an active status. The service period is 1 August 2026 to 31 January 2027. The recorded contract value is £1 GBP, while the procurement description says payments depend on patient activity and nationally mandated NHS Payment Scheme unit prices. Evaluation was based on quality, specifically patient choice, and price. One bid was recorded, from an SME. No conflicts of interest were identified.

This award indicates demand for consultant-led pain management delivered through patient choice within the NHS South Yorkshire system. A credible future competitor would need the clinical capability and governance arrangements to provide specialist pain management safely, consistently and at consultant level. It would also need to understand patient-choice pathways, manage activity that varies with patient decisions, and price or administer delivery in line with nationally mandated NHS Payment Scheme unit prices. Experience of NHS healthcare service delivery, activity-based payment and the operational requirements of an integrated care board would strengthen a supplier’s position. The award to an SME shows that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist provider, provided it can demonstrate appropriate clinical capacity, quality and responsiveness.
