The procurement process, orchestrated by the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, concerns the provision of Occupational Therapy Services. Falling under the health services industry, this procurement is classified as a service category. The process is situated within the UKH region, with specific operational locations in Cambridgeshire. Originally initiated as an intention to award notice under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) regulated by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, this contract was formally awarded on 23rd July 2026, with services commencing on 17th August 2026 for a 12-month term. The procurement method utilised was a direct award process without prior publication, highlighting the specific circumstances allowing such a method under regulatory frameworks.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses within the health services sector, particularly those specialising in occupational therapy.
