## Summary

The Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust is in the planning phase of a procurement process for a short-term contract titled "NENC Wellbeing Hub Social Prescribing for NHS Workforce". This service is aimed at providing social prescribing support for NHS staff who are on ill-health leave, assisting them in returning to work promptly. The procurement process falls under the health services industry category and is located in the UKC region, with a contract value of £100,000. The buyer intends to award the contract through the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), which allows for the identification of the most suitable provider without a competitive tender. The deadline for representations by providers to decision-makers is set for midnight on 19th January 2026, and the contract is intended to span 10 months.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with expertise in social prescribing for NHS staff. Companies that can efficiently offer targeted support to improve staff well-being and expedite their return to work are well-suited to engage with this tender. The non-competitive nature of the selection process under PSR allows suitable providers to make representations directly, fostering a collaborative approach between the buyer and providers. This creates a promising avenue for businesses aiming to expand their services within the healthcare sector by partnering with a prominent NHS Foundation Trust.
