Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Provision of Sexual Health Service" has been conducted by Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. This contract falls under the health services industry category and specifically pertains to a secure location within HMP Nottingham, designated in the region UKF14. The procurement method employed was limited, bypassing the prior publication of a call for competition due to the urgent necessity of the contract. The main stage noted is the award, with the contract being signed on 19th November 2025. The contract, valued at £19,933.60, was necessitated by an urgent situation that was unforeseeable, tied to the Emergency Award by NHS England, ensuring continuity of healthcare services.

This urgent award creates opportunities primarily for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those that can rapidly mobilise to support healthcare needs in secure environments like prisons. The competitive advantage is evident for large-scale health service providers that can integrate existing service frameworks under pressing timelines. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with flexibility and capability to provide specialised health services may also find niche opportunities by collaborating as subcontractors with larger prime contractors in high-pressure, time-sensitive procurement environments.

Notice Description

Provision of a Sexual Health Service in a secure location

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
