Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust commissioned a paediatric videofluoroscopy service for patients with cleft conditions. The service is for patients referred through the Trent Regional Cleft Network and under the care of Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. Videofluoroscopy is a specialist diagnostic service, so the requirement is relevant to providers with appropriate clinical imaging capability and experience assessing children with cleft-related needs. Delivery covers locations across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The procurement is categorised as health and social work services. Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust was selected as the supplier for the requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust used a limited procedure under the Provider Selection Regime, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The stated rationale was the Provider Selection Regime. The requirement was evaluated on price. The award was made to Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, with one bid recorded. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and has an awarded contract value of £2,500. The procurement included an option described as “twice by 2 years”. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, although the associated award is active. The process is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This procurement indicates demand for a focused paediatric diagnostic service supporting cleft care within the NHS. A credible future competitor would need to provide videofluoroscopy for children, understand the clinical needs associated with cleft conditions and accept referrals within a specialist regional care pathway. The work spans patients connected with the Trent Regional Cleft Network and care delivered by Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, so familiarity with NHS clinical governance, referral processes, safeguarding and multidisciplinary working would strengthen a supplier’s position. Relevant capability is likely to include suitably trained clinical and imaging staff, facilities able to assess paediatric patients, and reliable coordination with cleft-network teams. The award to a large NHS foundation trust shows that an established provider with specialist paediatric expertise was able to satisfy the requirement.
