## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust, involves the direct award of a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Direct Award Process C. The title of the procurement is "PSR Direct Award C - CYPS - NECS," situated within the health services industry category, aimed at providing counselling services to the CYPs service in Newcastle and Gateshead. The contract is valued at £226,571 annually for a period spanning 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with a potential extension of a further 12 months. The procurement stage is at the tender update, following a prior award announcement. The procurement method is limited, designated as an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, falling outside the application of traditional public contracts regulations.

This tender represents significant opportunities for business growth primarily for service providers specialising in counselling and health services. Established suppliers operating in the health sector and particularly those capable of sustaining service quality standards over prolonged periods would find this tender appealing, particularly those based locally around Newcastle and Gateshead. Given the nature of the direct award process, organisations already demonstrating satisfactory service delivery stand a great chance to collaborate and further establish themselves in providing critical health services, thereby accessing new contracts and revenue streams through this procurement effort.
