## Summary

The public procurement process initiated by Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust involves the direct awarding of a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) for health services, specifically the counselling provision to the CYPs service in Newcastle and Gateshead. This contract, valued at £28,278 annually, spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with possibilities for extension subject to funding and need. Managed by Gill Keane, contactable at gill.keane@cntw.nhs.uk, the awarding does not fall under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 but follows the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. As of 13th April 2026, the contracting process has reached the award stage, with Barnardo's designated as the supplier.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in health services, particularly those capable of providing specialised counselling services. Since the procurement method involves a direct award without a call for competition, businesses familiar with such processes might find advantageous conditions to pursue similar opportunities with large-scale buyers, like NHS Trusts. Large organisations with capabilities to meet stringent regulations and deliver quality healthcare services would be particularly suited to compete in similar tender processes, enhancing their portfolios and expanding their footprint within the UK health services market.
