## Summary

The Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for health services, specifically the provision of accommodation and support staff to the Westbridge service. The procurement method used was a direct award under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023, with no prior publication of a call for competition. The awarded contract, valued at £748,000 over two years, has been given to Tyne Housing Association Limited. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028, with the option for a further 12-month extension, contingent on continued funding and need. This contract falls under the health services industry category, serving the UKC region, with the latest procurement data recorded on 24 July 2026.

This procurement offers a significant business opportunity, especially for SMEs involved in providing health services, particularly accommodation and support staff. Although the contract has been directly awarded to an existing provider due to their proven capabilities and service standards, organisations that can demonstrate similar competence and meet regulatory requirements may find similar future opportunities within the healthcare sector or under similar provider selection regimes. Participating in contracts like these could pave the way for service expansion and increased market presence for businesses capable of delivering high-quality health services.
