## Summary

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is procuring insourced neurology outpatient services for patients using Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, including the Royal Hallamshire Hospital on Glossop Road, Sheffield. The requirement is a sub-contract for outpatient activity delivered by an external provider, under the NHS healthcare services framework and Provider Selection Regime. It falls within health services, specifically outpatient care services. The commissioning context is Sheffield Place, where NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board commissions the Trust to deliver the activity under the NHS standard contract. The service is intended to provide additional neurology outpatient capacity and has previously been insourced, although the selected provider was not the previous provider.

The process has reached the award stage: 18 Week Support Limited was selected for the neurology outpatient services requirement, with the contract recorded as active. The notice is an intention to award under the Provider Selection Regime rather than a Procurement Act 2023 award; the contract had not formally been awarded when the notice was issued. The award outcome was published on 4 September 2026 and the contract was signed on 4 September 2026. Its value is £116,019. Services run to 31 March 2027. This was a limited procedure using a framework agreement and an award procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. Thirteen bids were recorded. Evaluation weighted price at 50%, delivery model and capacity at 30%, technical and quality at 15%, and social value at 5%.

This procurement indicates demand for specialist providers able to deliver outsourced neurology outpatient activity for an NHS trust, with sufficient clinical and operational capacity to support contracted patient services. A credible future competitor would need a delivery model that can provide reliable additional outpatient capacity, meet technical and clinical quality requirements, and demonstrate value for money against NHS standard-contract metrics. Commercial pricing is the strongest stated evaluation factor, but capability is also tested through delivery capacity, technical and quality performance, and social value. The selected supplier was a large organisation, suggesting that scale and the ability to mobilise and manage a substantial healthcare delivery operation may be relevant. Participation was through a framework agreement, so framework access would be important for providers seeking to compete by this route.
