Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust is seeking physiotherapy services for its staff. This is a healthcare services requirement covering the provision and delivery of physiotherapy support to ambulance service employees. The buying organisation is Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust, based in Wakefield. The opportunity is aimed at providers able to deliver a managed physiotherapy service for an NHS ambulance workforce, with suitable premises and arrangements for communicating with service users and handling clinical and service issues. The requirement is classified as health services. It is a single service requirement and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers should consider whether their service model, facilities and operational coverage can support the Trust’s staff population and the required standards of clinical care and customer service.

The procurement has reached tender: the Trust invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 7 August 2026 at 12:00, and offers by 14 August 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed in English through the specified online portal. The contract is planned to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with three optional 12-month extensions, allowing it to continue until 31 March 2032. The estimated value is £500,000 excluding VAT, or £600,000 including VAT. The award decision is due by 26 October 2026. Evaluation gives 30% to price and 70% to quality, covering technical capability and resources, clinical governance, communication, responsiveness, customer care, service quality, premises, business continuity, social value and net-zero activity.

This opportunity suits physiotherapy providers with demonstrable technical capability, adequate clinical and operational resources, and strong governance and management practices. Bidders should be able to provide high standards of clinical care, customer service and day-to-day service delivery, including clear communication and effective responses to issues, problems and complaints. The evaluation also rewards flexibility and responsiveness, suitable premises, robust business continuity arrangements, and the ability to work towards net zero and reduce inequalities through social value. Providers should be comfortable delivering services for an NHS ambulance organisation and working under NHS Terms and Conditions. The requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist practices and growing providers may compete where they can evidence the required capacity, resilience and service standards.
