## Summary

The Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for the "PSR Direct Award C - Barnardo's My Time" project, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This contract, concerning the provision of health services specifically for children and young people in North Cumbria, falls within the services category as per CPV classification 85100000. The award process, labelled as Direct Award Process C, bypassed the need for prior publication and was subject to specific regulatory provisions that exclude the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The formal award of the contract took place on 2nd October 2025, with services scheduled to commence from 1st April 2025 through to 31st March 2028, with options to extend for an additional two years. The contract is currently valued at £396,710 annually, with a total potential contract value of £1,190,130 over the initial three years.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses within the health services industry, particularly those experienced in providing youth and community health solutions. SMEs with a proven track record, like Barnardo's, who are adept at delivering community-centric health services, are well-positioned to benefit from such procurement processes. The contract structure enables potential future funding extensions, allowing for business stability and growth. Consequently, firms operating in the UK, especially those focused on the North Cumbria region with a capacity to provide personalised health care services, would find this opportunity well-aligned with their strategic interests. The procurement method's limited competition nature favours entities capable of navigating direct award procedures and understanding the nuances of the Provider Selection Regime.
