## Summary

The procurement process for the "A-LINE (Anaesthesia Learning in the North East)" contract, spearheaded by The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, focuses on medical hospital services. The contract aims to enhance anaesthesia education within the region, involving educational programmes at the South Tees NHS Foundation Trust. This service-based procurement falls under a limited procurement method, specifically conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement process is now complete, with the contract awarded as of 8th May 2026. The award decision came after an assessment based on quality and innovation, value, integration, access improvement, and social value. The standstill period began on the same date, emphasising the finalisation of the award process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical training and educational programmes, particularly those capable of providing high standards in anaesthesia education. Companies with a focus on service sustainability and social value would find this contract advantageous for business growth. Although the procurement method was limited, focusing on existing relationships and standards, businesses in the health sector that enhance educational excellence, such as consultancy firms, training organisations, or providers of academic resources, would be particularly well-suited to explore similar opportunities in the future. South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has already been awarded the contract, reflecting the potential for collaboration and service provision at a regional level.
