Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process has concluded with the Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust awarding a contract for the provision of physiotherapy and podiatry services at HMP Nottingham. This award was made under the Direct Award Process A due to an urgent situation, which falls under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023. The procurement method used was limited, allowing for an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. Notably, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. Premier Physical Healthcare, based in Fareham, has been selected as the supplier. The contract, valued at £19,933.60, was signed on 19th November 2025, and focuses on ensuring continuity of healthcare services during a short mobilisation period with less than three months anticipated.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Trust considers that an award must be made urgently, the reason for the urgency was not foreseeable by and not attributable to the Trust due to the Emergency Award by NHS England of the Head Contract for Healthcare Services at HMP Nottingham to the Trust. Delaying the award of the contract to satisfy the requirements of the PSR would likely pose a risk to patient or public safety. The award term reflects the novation of existing supplier subcontracts from the incumbent on existing terms to ensure the continuity of healthcare services during the mobilisation period of less than three-months. The period of mobilisation would not have allowed the Trust to identify alternative provision for the subcontracted service. The relevant authority has awarded this contract under the Direct Award Process A - Urgent situation (F03) under 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
