## Summary

The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust commissioned the SPACE Project – Ways to Wellness, a health and social work service for the Great North Children’s Hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne. The service is provided by Ways to Wellness Limited, an SME based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The requirement supports children and young people through the hospital’s Ways to Wellness service. It falls within the health and social work services category (CPV 85000000). The buying organisation is the NHS foundation trust, whose relevant hospital and service activity are in Newcastle upon Tyne. The procurement covers one service requirement for the Great North Children’s Hospital rather than a range of separate goods, works or service packages.

The procurement has reached the award stage: Ways to Wellness Limited was selected and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 1 April 2025, with service scheduled from 1 April 2025 to 1 October 2027. Its approximate lifetime value is £200,000. The trust used the Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process C, described as a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice; the Procurement Act 2023 does not apply. The provider passed all five assessment criteria: quality and innovation; value; integration, collaboration and service sustainability; improving access, reducing inequalities and facilitating choice; and social value. Assessment considered performance under the previous contract and likely performance under the proposed contract. One bid was recorded, from an SME, and the contract was awarded to Ways to Wellness Limited.

This award shows that the trust purchases an established, community-facing health and social work service for the Great North Children’s Hospital through the Provider Selection Regime. A credible future provider would need to demonstrate quality and innovation alongside value for money, while working in an integrated and collaborative way with clinical, finance and procurement stakeholders. The service model must support sustainability, improve access, reduce inequalities and facilitate patient choice, with social value built into delivery. Relevant suppliers are likely to be organisations with experience delivering children’s or hospital-linked wellbeing services, evidence of satisfactory performance under an existing arrangement, and the capacity to provide a consistent service in Newcastle upon Tyne. The single recorded bid also indicates a focused requirement rather than a broad multi-supplier market exercise.
