Summary of the contracting process

The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a TPIAT service, classified as health services (CPV 85100000). Newcastle University is to provide the service across Freeman Hospital and Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle upon Tyne. The requirement is a specialist healthcare service delivered for the Trust across these two hospital sites. The selected provider is Newcastle University, whose stated organisation size is SME. The buying organisation is The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, a healthcare body based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The procurement is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 rather than the Procurement Act 2023.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Newcastle University. It was made through PSR Direct Award Process C, using a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026, with service scheduled from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its approximate lifetime value is £649,401. There was one bid, submitted electronically. The award decision used five pass/fail criteria: quality and innovation; value; integration, collaboration and service sustainability; improving access, reducing inequalities and facilitating choice; and social value. The provider passed all five criteria. The contract is active and the tender is recorded as complete.

This award shows demand from the Trust for a specialist TPIAT healthcare service delivered across Freeman Hospital and Royal Victoria Infirmary. A credible future supplier would need the clinical capability to provide this service, demonstrate quality and innovation, and offer clear value. The Trust also assesses how providers integrate with existing services, collaborate with relevant organisations and support service sustainability. Evidence of improving access, reducing inequalities and facilitating patient choice is important, alongside practical social value commitments. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate that they can meet these requirements consistently across both hospital sites and provide evidence that their service would achieve the required standard under the Provider Selection Regime.
