                "description": "The Redditch and Bromsgrove community musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapy service provides timely physiotherapy intervention to residents registered with a GP in Redditch and Bromsgrove. Patients can be referred by GPs or self-refer into the service. The service is currently provided by one NHS provider and four private any qualified providers. The service supports adults aged 16+. The current contract for community MSK physio is expiring on 31st March 2026 and a new one is required. This contract was awarded in April 2023 for an initial period of 2 years, with an option to extend for a further year subject to mutual agreement. The 1-year optional extension period is now coming to an end. The total lifetime value of the original contract was PS516,630. The incumbent provider of the above service is satisfying the existing contract. The commissioning authority, NHS Herefordshire & Worcestershire Integrated Care Board, has assessed the incumbent provider against basic selection criteria and the PSR 5 Key Criteria to determine whether the incumbent provider is satisfying the current contract and will likely satisfy the new contract. The proposed new contract is not significantly different from the existing one; it does not meet with the considerable change threshold, as specified Regulation 9 of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The total lifetime value of the original contract is PS516,630; the total value of the new contract is PS359,440. The percentage increase is -30.4% which is below the 25% threshold specified under Regulation 9 (Direct Award C), therefore, the new contract value does not meet the considerable change threshold. There are no material changes to the Service Specification. The new contract period is from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028. The decision to award the contract was made by the members of the NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire Strategic Commissioning Committee on 4th March 2026. There were no declared conflicts of interest for the individuals making the decision. The value of the new contact is PS359,440 over the total 2-year period (excluding any inflationary uplifts). Additional information: This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Intention to Award Notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health and Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or Procurement Act (PA2023) 2023 do not apply this award.
