Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust procured physiotherapy services at HMP Wandsworth. The requirement covers the delivery of physiotherapy within a prison environment, supporting healthcare provision for people held at the establishment. This is a health service rather than a supply of equipment or construction work. The service is categorised as physiotherapy services (CPV 85142100), within the wider health services category. The named buyer is Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust, a public healthcare organisation. Delivery is associated with HMP Wandsworth in London, and the requirement is specific to providing physiotherapy in an HMP setting. The procurement was arranged for one service requirement, rather than being divided into multiple service packages or geographical areas.

The procurement has been awarded to Premier Physical Healthcare Ltd under the Provider Selection Regime 2023, using Direct Award C and a procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. The contract was formally awarded on 21 July 2026, following an intention-to-award notice. The award criterion was price. The awarded contract value is £156,520 for the period 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2033. The contract is recorded as active, and the selected supplier is an SME. One bid was recorded for the requirement. The contract was signed on 1 June 2026. The procurement was treated as outside the scope of the relevant public contracts directive and is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for a physiotherapy provider able to deliver sustained clinical services in a custodial environment for a public healthcare trust. A credible future competitor would need practical experience of physiotherapy delivery in prisons or similarly controlled healthcare settings, with the operational discipline to work within an HMP environment. It would also need to provide a service that can meet the buyer’s healthcare needs at a competitive price, since price was the stated evaluation criterion. The incumbent route was a Provider Selection Regime Direct Award C, so understanding that regime and how provider selection decisions are made would be commercially relevant. The successful supplier’s SME status indicates that this requirement can be delivered by a specialist provider rather than only by a large healthcare group.
