Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is procuring outsourced neurology outpatient activity under a sub-contract arrangement. The service is intended to support delivery of neurology outpatient care and is described as insourcing activity to help meet NHS standard-contract requirements. The buying organisation is Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, with the activity delivered at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital on Glossop Road in Sheffield. This is a healthcare services requirement, specifically outpatient care services (CPV 85112200). The service is commissioned by NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, Sheffield Place. The requirement is for a provider able to deliver the agreed outpatient model within the Trust’s neurology service environment.

This is a Provider Selection Regime intention-to-award process using a limited procedure and a framework-based competitive process, rather than an open call. The selected supplier is 18 Week Support Limited. The contract value is £116,019, and the recorded contract was signed on 4 September 2026. The contract period runs to 31 March 2027. The notice says the award has not yet formally been made and that representations from framework providers were due by 11 September 2026 during the standstill period. Evaluation weighted price at 50%, delivery model and capacity at 30%, technical and quality at 15%, and economic and social value at 5%. The procurement lot is recorded as cancelled, despite the active supplier award and contract record.

This requirement indicates established demand for outsourced neurology outpatient capacity within Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. A credible future provider would need to demonstrate a workable delivery model, sufficient clinical capacity and the ability to integrate with an NHS neurology service and its standard-contract performance requirements. Technical and clinical quality evidence would be important, alongside robust pricing and measurable social value. The previous service had already been insourced, and the selected provider was not the previous provider, showing that the Trust has considered a change of supplier. Suppliers with proven outpatient neurology delivery, scalable staffing, quality-assurance systems and experience working with NHS commissioners would be best placed to compete when a comparable requirement returns.
