## Summary

NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board commissioned a Universal Sleep Support Model for children and young people in Bradford District and Craven. The service provides training and materials for the children and young people’s workforce, alongside specialist one-to-one sleep clinics for parents of children aged two to 11 experiencing sleep difficulties. Sleep practitioners work with families to develop personalised sleep plans. The model offers flexible, tiered support through partnership with family hubs, aiming to promote good sleep habits and reduce the need for specialist intervention through early behavioural support. It also supports development of the local sleep pathway and is delivered in line with NICE guidance on autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. This is a community health service opportunity for providers with paediatric sleep, family support and workforce training capability.

The procurement used the Provider Selection Regime and a direct award process without prior publication of a competition. The recorded award is active and names Together Trust as supplier; the contract is also recorded as active and was signed on 10 August 2026. The contract period is 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with options described for two one-year extensions. The stated lot value is £555,000, while the signed contract value is £145,000, both in GBP. The award decision was based entirely on quality: whether the existing provider was delivering, and was likely to continue delivering, the service to a sufficient standard. Cost carried no weighting. The procurement record also identifies one bid and marks the lot as cancelled.

This award shows demand from NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board for an integrated children’s sleep support service rather than a standalone clinic. A credible future competitor would need qualified sleep practitioners able to deliver personalised support to families of children aged two to 11, plus the capacity to train the wider children and young people’s workforce. Experience of early behavioural intervention, family hubs, pathway development and partnership working would be important. Providers would also need to demonstrate measurable outcomes for children and families, robust performance and KPI monitoring, and alignment with relevant NICE guidance, including autism and ADHD guidance. Evidence of reducing inequalities, building workforce capability, supporting system integration and delivering social value would strengthen a provider’s case. The procurement’s quality-led assessment indicates that service evidence and outcomes matter more than lowest price.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Contract Authority; NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board intends to award a contract to an existing provider following Direct Award Process C. The authority is publishing this notice in Find a Tender in accordance with the NHS Provider Selection Regime.
Contract term: 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2029 (includes options to extend for 1+1)
Contract value PS555,000

Rationale for the award of contract:
* The ICB is not required to follow direct award process A or B
* The proposed contracting arrangements are not changing considerably from the existing contract
* The ICB is of the view that the existing provider is satisfying the existing contract to a sufficient standard, according to the detail outlined in the contract, and also taking into account the key criteria and applying the basic selection criteria
* The ICB is of the view that the existing provider will likely satisfy the proposed contract to a sufficient standard taking into account the key criteria and applying the basic selection criteria
* The procurement is not to conclude a framework agreement or to award a contract based on a framework agreement
* The evidence indicates that continuation of the current provider is likely to continue delivering quality improvements and system benefits because:
o The model was specifically commissioned to reduce the need for specialist intervention through early behavioural support.
o The service contributes to development of the Bradford sleep pathway.
o The service is aligned to NICE guidance and behavioural interventions preceding medication.
o The service provides workforce training and capability building to increase system capacity.
o Performance data demonstrates positive outcomes for children and families
All evidence has been documented in the Service Review and Service Eligibility Evidence. Additional information: The service was reviewed against the PSR Key Criteria using narrative based evidence service review. The evidence demonstrates that the provider has delivered the existing service to a high standard against all PSR key criteria and that there is sufficient evidence of quality, value, integration, access and social value to support continuation of the arrangement. There is robust performance information, outcome data, KPI monitoring, evidence of reducing inequalities, workforce development and pathway integration on which to make an informed decision.
The assessment concluded that the existing provider continues to meet the PSR requirements and that contract continuation best supports patient outcomes, system stability and social value, with no identified benefit in opening the service to competition at this time. 

Assessment against the Basic Selection Criteria was undertaken in line with PSR statutory guidance. This confirmed that the provider met all minimum requirements. No issues were identified that would preclude the provider from continuing to deliver the service.
