Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust procured podiatry services at HMP Wandsworth, providing foot health assessment and treatment within a prison environment. The requirement is classified as health services, with an additional community health services classification. Delivery is at HMP Wandsworth in London. The buyer is Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust, an NHS body responsible for healthcare provision in custodial settings. The service is intended for people held at the prison and requires a provider able to organise and deliver clinical podiatry care within the operational constraints of an HMP. The procurement covers one service requirement rather than a broader estates, facilities or general healthcare contract. The selected supplier is a specialist physical healthcare business, indicating that the requirement is focused on direct podiatry delivery rather than consultancy or equipment supply.

The procurement has been awarded following a Provider Selection Regime direct award process C, using a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition. The contract was formally awarded to Premier Physical Healthcare Ltd on 21 July 2026. The contract value is £89,180, covering 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2033. The contract was recorded as signed on 1 June 2026. The stated evaluation basis was price. The original intention-to-award notice described the supplier as an existing provider, and the award is active. One bid was recorded for the requirement. The procurement rationale states that the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 apply and that the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this award shows that Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust buys long-term podiatry provision for a prison setting through the Provider Selection Regime. A credible competitor would need an established podiatry service capable of delivering routine and clinically appropriate foot health care consistently inside an HMP, while working with custodial access, security, appointment and safeguarding arrangements. The existing-provider basis indicates that continuity and familiarity with the environment can matter alongside price. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate reliable workforce capacity, clinical governance, operational resilience and experience delivering healthcare in secure or otherwise controlled settings. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist provider rather than only by a large national healthcare organisation. Familiarity with PSR direct-award routes would also be relevant.
