## Summary

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is procuring insourced neurology outpatient services for its Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield. The requirement is for a provider to deliver outpatient neurology activity, supporting the Trust’s commissioned NHS services and standard-contract performance measures. The procurement is categorised as health services, specifically outpatient care services. The service is intended to be delivered at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Glossop Road, Sheffield. The stated requirement is a subcontracted service rather than a construction, equipment or general consultancy opportunity. The named provider is expected to have the operational capability to deliver neurology outpatient activity within the Trust’s hospital setting and under the relevant NHS service arrangements.

This is a Provider Selection Regime intention to award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using a limited award procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. The intended supplier is 18 Week Support Limited. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026 and is valued at £116,019; the service period runs to 31 March 2027. The notice says the formal award remains subject to the standstill process, with representations due by 11 September 2026 from providers that are party to the framework agreement. Evaluation weighted price at 50%, delivery model and capacity at 30%, technical and quality at 15%, and social value at 5%. The process recorded 13 bids. The single lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need a proven neurology outpatient insourcing operation, with sufficient clinical and operational capacity to deliver activity at a teaching-hospital site. The evaluation shows that price is important, but capacity and the proposed delivery model together carry substantial weight, so bidders would need to demonstrate how they can organise, staff and sustain the service rather than offer price alone. Technical and clinical quality evidence would also be central, alongside a clear contribution to social value. Experience of working within NHS commissioned services and meeting NHS standard-contract performance measures would strengthen a supplier’s position. The route also indicates that access to the relevant framework agreement may be essential for participation.
