Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Hampshire and the Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board is set to extend the contract for the Falls Recovery Exercise Class service, based in Southampton, by awarding a two-year contract continuation to the Saints Foundation starting 1st April 2026 through to 31st March 2028. This service falls under the category of Rehabilitation Services within the healthcare industry. The extension follows a direct award process under the Provider Selection Regime, bypassing the need for traditional competitive tendering as outlined in the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. The total value of this contract is £243,600, highlighting its significance for the delivering organisation. The procurement is in the Award stage, following an initial intention notice on 5th March 2026 and the subsequent awarding on 19th March 2026.

This contract extension represents a strategic opportunity for potential businesses looking to expand within the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in community health services and rehabilitation. Given that the existing provider, the Saints Foundation, was able to secure an extension with a strong performance record, businesses should aim to demonstrate competence in delivering quality healthcare services, focusing on collaboration, innovation, and service sustainability. As the procurement process relied heavily on the Provider Selection Regime, businesses familiar with this regulatory framework would be well-positioned to compete for similar future opportunities. Additionally, firms that can provide tailored, innovative solutions to improve health outcomes and service delivery in the Southampton area may find valuable opportunities for growth.
