Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust commissioned specialist children’s and young people’s multidisciplinary clinic support for patients with Wolfram Syndrome. The service supports the Trust’s children’s and young people’s services and relates specifically to Wolfram Syndrome care. It is a specialist health service, classified under CPV 85100000. Delivery is associated with Birmingham and the wider United Kingdom. The selected provider is Wolfram Syndrome UK, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Worthing. The arrangement is therefore relevant to organisations providing highly specialised patient support, clinical coordination or multidisciplinary services for children and young people with rare endocrine or diabetes-related conditions, particularly those able to work with NHS specialist services and the Wolfram Syndrome patient community.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through PSR Direct Award A, an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026 with Wolfram Syndrome UK. The award covers one requirement, with a stated lifetime award value of £73,048 and an intended award period from 6 October 2026 to 5 October 2027. The award decision was based on there being no realistic alternative provider, with quality and cost each recorded as 100. One bid was recorded, valued at £72,048. The active award and contract identify Wolfram Syndrome UK as the supplier. The procurement record also marks the associated lot as cancelled.

This award demonstrates demand from Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust for a narrowly specialised service supporting children and young people with Wolfram Syndrome through multidisciplinary clinic provision. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in rare-disease support, children’s and young people’s services, and coordination across relevant clinical disciplines. Familiarity with endocrine and diabetes care would be directly relevant to the patient group and service context. The stated basis of award indicates that specialist expertise, established relationships with the affected patient community and the ability to provide a service for which the buyer considers there is no realistic alternative provider may be decisive. Smaller specialist organisations can be competitive where they can evidence these capabilities and deliver consistently with NHS clinical requirements.
