Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a TPIAT Service, classified as a health service. Newcastle University was selected to provide the service across Freeman Hospital (FRH) and the Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI), in Newcastle upon Tyne. The buyer is an NHS foundation trust based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The requirement is a specialist healthcare service delivered across these two hospital sites. The service sits within the health and clinical care sector and may suit organisations with the clinical capability, governance arrangements and operational links needed to provide TPIAT services within an NHS hospital environment. The procurement concerns service delivery rather than goods, construction or general consultancy.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Newcastle University. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026, with service delivery scheduled from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its approximate lifetime value is £649,401. The award was made through Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process C, using a limited procedure without a prior call for competition under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. One electronic bid was recorded, with the lowest and highest valid bid both valued at £649,401. Evaluation used five pass/fail criteria: quality and innovation; value; integration, collaboration and service sustainability; improving access, reducing inequalities and facilitating choice; and social value. Newcastle University passed all five criteria.

This award indicates established demand from the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for a specialist TPIAT service delivered across Freeman Hospital and the Royal Victoria Infirmary. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate the clinical and organisational capability to provide this service safely in an NHS setting, with evidence of quality and innovation. It would also need to show value for money, effective integration and collaboration with hospital and clinical teams, and service sustainability over the contract term. Strong evidence on improving patient access, reducing health inequalities and supporting patient choice would be important. The buyer also assesses social value, so suppliers should be able to evidence relevant benefits alongside clinical performance and operational delivery.
