Summary of the contracting process

```html South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for the Tees Valley Children & Young People’s Speech & Language Therapy Service, previously covered separately by North East & North Cumbria ICB. The award, effective 31st March 2025, includes the regional scope covering Middlesbrough, Redcar & Cleveland, Darlington, Stockton, and Hartlepool areas under the paediatric services category.

North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust has been selected as the sub-contractor to deliver services across the North Tees footprint, with representation deadlines set for 24th March 2025.

The notice in full

North East & North Cumbria ICB previously commissioned two separate children's speech & language therapy services: one covering the South Tees footprint (Middlesbrough and Redcar & Cleveland local authorities) and one covering the North Tees footprint (Darlington, Stickton & Hartlepool local authorities). Those contracts both end on 31st March 2025.

The ICB have commissioned a Tees Valley Children & Young People's Speech & Language Therapy Service (covering the 5 local authority areas). South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust were awarded the contract as Most Suitable Provider. Within the tender document South Tees described the intention to sub-contract with North Tees & Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust to deliver the new service specification across the North Tees footprint.

This PSR process is to award the sub contracting element to North Tees as they were the only sub contractor included in the bid and therefore the most suitable provider. This will be a re-procurement of the SALT services, but a new agreement.
