Summary of the contracting process

York and Scarborough Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust commissioned support and collaboration for its PLICS NCC model. The work is a specialist data analysis service, supporting the Trust’s existing model and continuity of service. The named requirement is for the Trust; the procurement does not identify separate delivery locations. The contract is with Carecosting Ltd, a small and medium-sized supplier. The title and description identify the PLICS NCC model, but do not explain the model’s detailed functions or list specific deliverables. This is therefore a focused opportunity for suppliers with relevant experience supporting and collaborating on the Trust’s existing PLICS NCC model, rather than a general data analysis commission.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Carecosting Ltd. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, citing continuity of service from the existing supplier and that the requirement was not on a framework. The contract was signed on 6 October 2026. Its initial term runs from 1 January to 31 December 2027, with an option to extend for a further 12 months, to a maximum end date of 31 December 2028. The contract value is £110,250 excluding VAT (£132,300 including VAT). There is one lot, and one award covering data analysis services. The published procurement information does not state separate scored evaluation criteria; the stated basis for the direct award was continuity with the existing supplier.

For suppliers interested in future work of this kind, the award shows that the Trust buys specialist support and collaboration for its PLICS NCC model, with service continuity a central consideration. A credible competitor would need demonstrable expertise in data analysis and the ability to support and work collaboratively on this particular model. Evidence of experience delivering uninterrupted support for an incumbent model would be relevant to the stated rationale for selecting the supplier. Suppliers should be prepared to deliver a focused service directly to the Trust and to explain how they would maintain continuity while providing the required support. The contract went to an SME, indicating that this requirement was deliverable by a smaller supplier; the award does not establish a requirement for a particular accreditation or staffing scale.
