## Summary

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured insourced neurology outpatient services for patients at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, specifically the Royal Hallamshire Hospital on Glossop Road, Sheffield. The requirement is for a provider to deliver outpatient activity as a subcontracted service, supporting the Trust’s neurology provision and its NHS standard contract obligations. This is a healthcare services procurement, covering outpatient care rather than construction, equipment supply or general consultancy. The Trust is the buying organisation, with NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board commissioning the wider activity. The selected provider is 18 Week Support Limited, a large supplier based in London. The service has previously been insourced, although the successful provider was not the previous supplier.

The procurement has reached the award and contract stage under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, using a limited competitive process based on a framework agreement and an award procedure without prior publication of a general call for competition. 18 Week Support Limited was selected for the neurology outpatient requirement. The contract is active, was signed on 4 September 2026, and has a value of £116,019. Services are required until 31 March 2027. The evaluation weighted price or cost at 50%, delivery model and capacity at 30%, technical and quality at 15%, and social value at 5%. Thirteen bids were recorded. Representations under the standstill arrangements were limited to providers that were parties to the framework agreement and had to be made by 11 September 2026.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Sheffield Teaching Hospitals for specialist neurology outpatient capacity delivered through an insourcing model. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide an effective delivery model, sufficient clinical and operational capacity, and strong technical and quality assurance. The weighting shows that competitive pricing is central, but service capacity and delivery arrangements together carry substantial importance. Suppliers would also need to demonstrate measurable social value and an ability to work within NHS standard contract requirements and performance metrics. Relevant experience of delivering neurology outpatient activity, dependable clinician and administrative resources, and the ability to support activity at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital would strengthen a supplier’s position. The route also indicates the importance of access to the relevant framework agreement.
