Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust procured occupational therapy services under the Provider Selection Regime. The requirement is for health services delivered in the East of England, supporting the Trust’s occupational therapy provision. The procurement covered one requirement and was intended to continue an existing service delivered by an incumbent provider. The selected supplier, The O.T. Practice Limited, is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Hampshire. The Trust is an NHS foundation trust, and the service sits within community and healthcare provision. This is a specialist clinical services opportunity rather than a supply of equipment or general consultancy. Relevant businesses are occupational therapy providers able to deliver regulated or otherwise suitable healthcare services for an NHS organisation.

The procurement has been awarded through Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process C, without prior publication of a competition. The award decision was dated 23 July 2026, with The O.T. Practice Limited selected as the supplier. The contract value is £50,000. The contract term is 12 months from 17 August 2026. The published procurement records the requirement as complete, while the related lot is marked cancelled; the later confirmation states that the contract was formally awarded. Evaluation relied on whether the existing provider was meeting the original contract and was likely to meet the proposed contract to a sufficient standard, with the criterion recorded as 100% cost. One bid was recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from Cambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust for outsourced occupational therapy services delivered through the Provider Selection Regime. A credible future competitor would need an established occupational therapy service, suitably qualified clinical staff and the operational capacity to provide consistent care for NHS patients. Experience of delivering an existing healthcare contract would be particularly relevant, because the award rationale focused on satisfactory performance against the original contract and confidence in continued delivery. Suppliers should also understand PSR Direct Award C and be able to evidence service quality, continuity, clinical governance and dependable contract management. The selected provider’s SME status indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national healthcare organisation.
