Summary of the contracting process

NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board commissioned a staff health, wellbeing and resilience programme for eligible NHS employees working in Wakefield. The THRIVE service provides targeted wellbeing interventions, including courses and residential retreats, intended to improve staff wellbeing, resilience and retention. It forms part of the Wakefield Economic Accelerator Programme and supports the programme’s workforce wellbeing objectives. The work is delivered for NHS staff in Wakefield. This is a health services requirement covering the design and delivery of staff wellbeing support, rather than general healthcare provision or clinical treatment.

The contract has been awarded to Thrive Well Strategies Ltd following an urgent award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without a prior call for competition. The buyer cited the need to deliver within approved programme timescales and said late funding left insufficient time for a full procurement process. The award was made on 15 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027 and is valued at £61,665. Evaluation gave full weight to addressing immediate risks to safety and quality of care, with no weight assigned to cost. The procurement had one lot; that lot is marked cancelled, although the overall award and contract are recorded as active.

For suppliers outside the award, this outcome shows demand from NHS West Yorkshire for a focused staff wellbeing and resilience programme serving NHS employees in Wakefield. A credible competitor would need to provide targeted wellbeing interventions, including courses and residential retreats, and demonstrate how these address immediate risks to staff safety and quality of care. The intended outcomes include stronger wellbeing, resilience and staff retention, delivered in support of a defined workforce programme. The buyer used the Provider Selection Regime’s urgent circumstances route because of programme timing and late funding; this award therefore does not establish that a future requirement would follow an open competition. Providers with relevant programme-delivery experience and the ability to mobilise wellbeing support promptly would be well placed to meet a similar requirement.
