UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Medway NHS Foundation Trust bought physiotherapy staff services, classified under CPV 85142100. The requirement was for professional physiotherapy provision supporting the Trust’s healthcare operations. The contracting organisation is Medway NHS Foundation Trust, based at Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham. The awarded service was described as “Physio Staff Services” and was arranged through a purchase order. This is a clinical services requirement rather than a supply of equipment, construction or general staffing. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are providers of physiotherapy services able to work with an NHS foundation trust and support patient-facing healthcare delivery. The named requirement concerns physiotherapy personnel and service provision for the Trust’s operational needs.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Medway NHS Foundation Trust used a direct procedure described as below threshold and without competition, under the Procurement Act 2023. PHYSIO MED LIMITED was selected as the supplier for the single completed lot. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and runs from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £25,000 including tax, and the award and contract are each recorded at £25,000. The process was completed through a direct purchase order rather than a competitive tender. The available outcome shows one active award to PHYSIO MED LIMITED for physiotherapy services.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from Medway NHS Foundation Trust for outsourced physiotherapy staff services at a modest, below-threshold scale. A credible future competitor would need to provide qualified physiotherapy personnel, organise reliable clinical cover and operate safely within an NHS healthcare environment. Relevant suppliers are likely to include specialist physiotherapy providers, clinical staffing businesses and small enterprises with the operational capacity to support a hospital trust. Experience delivering patient-facing physiotherapy services, robust workforce management, appropriate clinical governance and the ability to meet NHS procedures would strengthen a supplier’s position when this type of requirement is considered again. The direct-award route also indicates that a supplier would need to understand the Trust’s purchasing processes and respond efficiently to a focused service requirement.
