## Summary

The NHS Newcastle Gateshead Clinical Commissioning Group is seeking to establish an Engagement Service for the Newcastle Gateshead locality, with the contracted service expected to commence from 1 January 2019 for a duration of 3 years and 3 months, with an option for a 1-year extension based on performance. The total contract value is £487,001 and falls under the public relations services category. As the procurement has been completed, it is pivotal to note that it was conducted through an open procedure, which allows for broader participation from interested suppliers in the North East region of England. The relevant procurement stage has now culminated in the award of this contract, which was officially published on 19 November 2018.

This engagement service can create significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare and public relations sectors, particularly those specialising in patient and public involvement initiatives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete, given the emphasis on collaboration with community members and organisations within the Newcastle and Gateshead areas. Such businesses can leverage this contract to enhance their visibility and credibility while fostering partnerships that can lead to further contracts in the healthcare service space.
