UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured Love2shop gift cards for its Long Term Service awards. This is a goods requirement for retail vouchers, gift cards and associated reward provision, supporting recognition of staff reaching long service milestones. Delivery is to the Newcastle upon Tyne area in the United Kingdom. The named buying organisation is the NHS Foundation Trust, based at the Royal Victoria Infirmary on Queen Victoria Road, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The requirement was treated as presents and rewards under CPV 18530000. The scope is focused on supplying branded or multi-retailer gift cards for employee recognition rather than general retail services, construction, consultancy or healthcare delivery.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Park Retail Limited on 6 August 2026. The award value is £32,300 gross, in GBP. The contract period runs from 11 August 2026 to 10 August 2027. It covers one lot, which was completed. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition, so the opportunity was not evaluated through an open tender. The award is active, and the planned contract signature date was 11 August 2026. Park Retail Limited is the selected supplier for the full requirement. The procurement was classified as goods and related to presents and rewards.

This award shows established NHS demand for retail gift cards used as long-service employee rewards, with a requirement large enough to support a dedicated commercial supply arrangement. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would offer multi-retailer or branded gift cards, reliable ordering and fulfilment, and the operational capacity to supply an NHS organisation throughout a year-long arrangement. Experience delivering employee recognition, incentive or reward programmes would help demonstrate relevance, particularly where recipients need flexible retail choice. A credible competitor would also need to understand public-sector purchasing routes, including below-threshold direct awards, and be able to provide consistent pricing, administration and customer support for recurring staff-award distributions.
