Summary of the contracting process

The Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust has concluded the tender process for "HPFT - GP Practice In-reach support" aimed at supporting rehabilitation units. This project falls under the general-practitioner services category, classified within the health services sector. The procurement occurred in Hertfordshire, identified by the region code UKH23. The purchasing authority utilised a direct award process under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, thus outside the remit of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement stage was at the tender update level on 7th August 2026, following the award decision made by 29th June 2026. The formal award was designated to Regal Chambers Practice, a small to medium-sized enterprise, with an active contract status established on the same date with a value of £20,000.

This tender presents significant business growth potential, especially for SMEs engaged in healthcare services. Given the targeted sector of general-practitioner services, businesses with experience in providing integrated, collaborative healthcare solutions that improve access and reduce health inequalities would find this opportunity appealing. The selection criteria focused strongly on quality and innovation, social value, and service sustainability, suggesting that businesses with a commitment to these factors could excel in such competitive processes. This procurement process provides a clear example of how specialised healthcare service providers can expand their reach in the public sector by aligning with the strategic needs of NHS Trusts.
