Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust intend to award 1 contract to Humber Teaching FT under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime regulations using the Most Suitable Provider process. Additional information: This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice under the Most Suitable Provider process. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. Following market engagement and the publication of a prior information notice we assessed the most suitable providers linking back to the key criteria. The award decision-makers selected Humber Teaching FT following a rigorous evaluation process against the published criteria. The provider demonstrated exceptional capability and alignment with the key requirements, which informed the panel’s decision:<br/>•   Quality of Service: The provider presented a comprehensive approach with proven methodologies, ensuring high standards of delivery and measurable outcomes.<br/>•   Value for Money: Their proposal offered competitive pricing while maintaining quality, representing the most economically advantageous option.<br/>•   Experience and Expertise: The provider’s track record in delivering similar projects, supported by strong references and case studies, gave the panel confidence in their ability to perform.<br/>Based on these factors, the decision-makers concluded that Humber Teaching FT offered the strongest overall proposal, balancing quality and cost-effectiveness. Their selection reflects the provider’s ability to deliver the required outcomes while adding long-term value to the project.<br/>The result was that<br/>we had a clear most suitable provider as per this award. The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period which ends midnight on 19/2/26. Decision makers: gill.keane@cntw.nhs.uk; Paul.batey@ntw.nhs.uk; richard.lloyd@cntw.nhs.uk; richard.duggins@cntw.nhs.uk<br/>We can confirm that there are no conflicts of interests with regards to the decision makers. The commitment is for a 1 year contract with an annual value of £100,000.<br/>This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health services (85100000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 8518,5571 median · 30.4 average (8,809 of 18,557 with a bid count)2 average (9,782 of 18,557 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs

Delivery region: UKC6871 median · 9.9 average (457 of 687 with a bid count)1.3 average (473 of 687 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
