The service provides assessment support, advice and information to patients and their families undergoing surgery. This is a healthcare service delivered by nursing and stoma-care providers, with the Trust as the buyer. The requirement centres on supporting patients and families with stoma-care needs across treatment settings, rather than on a supply of goods or a construction project. The procurement description identifies the patient support and assessment function as the core of the service. The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Salts Healthcare Limited. The Trust used a direct award under the Provider Selection Regime 2023, without prior publication of a competition. The stated rationale was a repetition of existing services. The award was evaluated on price. One bid was recorded. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026. The awarded value and contract duration are not stated in the available process information, so the financial scale and length of the commitment cannot be assessed from these details. The award is recorded as active; the tender information also marks its lot as cancelled. For suppliers considering similar future work for Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust, this award indicates demand for specialist stoma-care support across acute and community patient pathways. A credible provider would need to deliver patient assessment support and provide clear advice and information to patients and families undergoing surgery, with the ability to serve people at different stages of treatment. Experience supporting stoma patients in both hospital and community settings would be directly relevant. The service is centred on clinical nursing and ongoing patient and family support, so providers whose capabilities extend across these settings are better aligned with the requirement than suppliers offering unrelated healthcare services or products. The Trust selected a supplier through a direct award based on price. ## Notice Stoma Care Services are provided by HDFT for patient requiring stoma care advice and support who are all stages of their treatment pathway, for both acute and community patients. The Service provides assessment support, advice and information to patients and their families who are undergoing surgery. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This direct award is being made in relation to Direct Award process C under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) 2023.
