"description": "This is a Provider Selection Regime
(PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to
the Health Care Services (Provider
Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.
For the avoidance of doubt, the
provisions of the Procurement Act 2023
do not apply to this award. The
standstill period begins on the 30th April 2026.
Representations by providers must be
made to the relevant authority by the
end of standstill. Representations by
providers must be made to The
Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS
Foundation Trust at the following email
address: natthew.hampson7@nhs.net
Details of the award decision-makers:
The decision to award was made by an
MDT consisting of representatives from
Finance, Clinical Board and
Procurement.
Declarations of Interest were sought
from the members of the MDT prior to
consideration of contract award. No
declarations of interest were declared.
The provider was assessed against 5
key criteria: Quality and Innovation;
Value; Integration, collaboration, and
service sustainability; Improving
access, reducing inequalities, and
facilitating choice; and social value.
Each criterion was assessed on a
pass/fail basis, considering whether
they have currently satisfied the criteria
under the previous contract and
whether they would likely satisfy the
proposed contract to a sufficient
standard. The provider achieved a pass
score against all criteria.",

"description": "The Great North Children's Hospital Trust is commissioning Barnardo's to provide Family Support in their Emergency Department. Barnardo's Family Support Workers offer psycho-social support to families in various health settings, this aims to reduce pressures on the health system whilst providing accessible, nonclinical support to families when they need it most.
Barnardo's Family Support Workers work with families who may not meet the threshold for traditional children's services intervention, or who may not be accessing their community services and may require support to ensure equitable access, focussing on the environmental and socioeconomic causes of ill-health to make lasting change for families.
This can mean meeting someone at their home, in the community, or over the phone, to talk through their circumstances and either agree an action plan, signpost, or refer to the relevant services and if needed, support with this initial engagement. We do this in partnership with the family and local providers to help families access the right support at the right time and reduce health inequalities.
The aim is to reduce pressure on healthcare settings by encouraging families to tap into locally available support which is more appropriate for their level of need.",
