Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council has recently completed the procurement process for delivering Occupational Physiotherapy Services. This contract, awarded to TRUE PHYSIO LTD, is set to provide occupational physiotherapy services aiming to benefit the council's 4,300 employees, as well as staff from over 400 schools and academies in the areas including Cannock Chase, East Staffordshire, Lichfield, and others within the County of Staffordshire. Operating under the open procurement method with a light-touch regime, the contract commenced on January 1, 2026, and will extend through December 31, 2027, with possibilities of renewal up to year-end 2029. The procurement process began with planning in May 2025, a tender notice published in July 2025, and an award in December 2025. The total contract value is anticipated to reach £420,000, with the initial contract period valued at £350,000 GBP.

This procurement presents significant business opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises specializing in physiotherapy and related health services. With a framework awarding a single supplier to ensure no additional competitive call-offs, businesses established within the professional physiotherapy services category, such as those registered with the Health & Care Professionals Council (HCPC) or the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Occupational Health and Ergonomics (ACPOHE), are well-suited for this type of service delivery. Moreover, the contract's focus on reducing musculoskeletal disorder-related absenteeism underscores the necessity for quality and compliant service delivery, propelling growth prospects for specialized physiotherapy providers that are equipped to meet and exceed the set service targets.
