Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust procured specialist urology services comprising flexible diagnostic cystoscopy, biopsy services and day-case theatre procedures, together with inguinoscrotal surgical work. The requirement is intended to support the Trust with high demand for these procedures. It is a healthcare services contract delivered for the Trust’s service area in North East England. The buying organisation is Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, based at Northumbria House, Cobalt Business Park, North Shields. The work is suited to providers of specialist urology and surgical services able to deliver cystoscopy-led diagnostics, biopsies and associated day-case procedures. The procurement’s classification is CPV 85121200, medical specialist services.

The procurement has reached contract award and signature. Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust awarded the requirement to Tyneside Surgical Services Limited under the Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process Option C, without prior publication of a call for competition. The award date and contract signature date were 19 August 2026. The contract value is £698,400, and the contract is active. The planned contract period is 12 months, with an option for a further 12-month extension. One bid was recorded. The stated decision basis was that the existing provider was performing the original contract satisfactorily and was likely to meet the proposed contract to a sufficient standard; quality and cost were each recorded at 100.

This award demonstrates established NHS demand for high-volume urology diagnostics and related surgical capacity in Northumbria Healthcare’s service area. A credible future competitor would need specialist urology capability covering flexible cystoscopy, diagnostic biopsy and inguinoscrotal surgery, with the facilities, clinicians and theatre capacity to provide day-case procedures reliably at scale. The successful provider was recorded as an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist business rather than only by a large hospital group. Relevant providers should be able to evidence satisfactory performance of comparable healthcare contracts, consistent clinical quality, safe surgical delivery and the operational resilience needed to manage sustained demand. Familiarity with the Provider Selection Regime and its direct-award assessment approach would also help a supplier understand the buyer’s route to market.
