Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust procured GP practice in-reach support for its rehabilitation units in Hertfordshire. The requirement is a healthcare service covering general-practitioner services and community health support. The work is intended to provide GP support within rehabilitation settings, helping the Trust maintain appropriate clinical input for patients in those units. The buyer is a public NHS foundation trust based in Hatfield. The selected provider, Regal Chambers Practice, is based in Hitchin and is classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement is therefore relevant to GP practices and primary-care providers able to deliver in-reach clinical support to NHS rehabilitation services in Hertfordshire, including organisations with the local capacity to work closely with the Trust’s units.

This procurement has been formally awarded to Regal Chambers Practice under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using direct award process C. It was conducted as a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, because the Trust treated the requirement as outside the scope of the applicable public-contracts regulations. The contract value is £20,000. The contract was signed on 29 June 2026 and is recorded as active. The decision considered quality and innovation; integration, collaboration and service sustainability; improved access, reduced health inequalities and patient choice; social value; and value for money. The published outcome records one bid and confirms the selected supplier met or exceeded the Trust’s expectations against these criteria.

For a provider assessing future NHS rehabilitation-support opportunities, this award shows demand for a focused GP in-reach service rather than a broad hospital contract. A credible competitor would need GP or primary-care capability, the capacity to provide services within rehabilitation units, and the ability to integrate with an NHS foundation trust and its service-line leads. Evidence should address continuity and sustainability of delivery, collaboration with existing services, improved patient access, reduced health inequalities and support for patient choice. The evaluation also places weight on quality, innovation and social value, so providers should be able to demonstrate practical improvements alongside safe clinical delivery. The award to an SME indicates that a locally based practice can be a suitable delivery model for this requirement.
