Summary of the contracting process

Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Physiotherapy & Podiatry Service," situated in a secure location at HMP Morton Hall, within the UKF3 region. This award, finalised on 18th February 2026, follows a Direct Award Process due to urgent circumstances under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023. The procurement falls outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The decision was driven by an unforeseen urgent demand linked to an emergency award by NHS England, necessitating an immediate contract award to ensure continuity of healthcare services. The contract, valued at £15,193.63, has been awarded to Premier Physical Healthcare and encompasses health services within the main procurement category of services.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses within the health services sector, particularly those equipped to provide urgent physiotherapy and podiatry services in secure environments. Companies with the capability to deliver high-quality services promptly can benefit significantly from similar urgent requirement contracts. While this particular award was a limited procedure without prior publication, future opportunities may arise for relevant service providers to support public health initiatives in healthcare facilities, especially given the emphasis on quality and continuity of service outlined in this procurement. Such tenders are ideal for large-scale health service suppliers ready to respond to immediate and specialist needs.

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 Morton Hall 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
