Summary of the contracting process

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board commissioned a low vision service, a healthcare service for people with sight loss. The requirement is associated with the North East of England. The service is delivered on an ad hoc basis, rather than through a stated fixed volume of work. SH Reily Ltd, based in Guisborough, was selected to provide it.

The contract has been formally awarded to SH Reily Ltd under Direct Award Process C of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without a prior competition. The award was based on the existing provider meeting the original contract and being considered likely to meet the proposed contract to a sufficient standard; the published criteria assign 100% to both quality and cost. The contract period is 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The stated contract value is £8,266. Services were already being delivered under an implied contract. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026.

For suppliers preparing for a future requirement from this buyer, this award shows demand for an ad hoc low vision service delivered in the North East of England. A credible provider would need to demonstrate that it can sustain the service and satisfy the buyer’s requirements to a sufficient standard, with a convincing record of performance relevant to continuity of care. The buyer assessed the provider against the Provider Selection Regime’s five key criteria and concluded that it had passed and met the key requirements identified for the contract. The published evaluation also considered quality and cost. This is a relatively focused healthcare service requirement, rather than a stated high-volume or fixed-quantity contract.
