Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust" was conducted by NHS Northamptonshire Integrated Care Board. This is an award stage process, with the contract confirmed on 2nd April 2026, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The focus is on various hospital services such as Accident and Emergency, Acute Services, Cancer/Radiotherapy Services, and more, located in the UKF25 region, specifically at Kettering. The procurement method applied was a limited process, specifically a direct award without a prior call for competition, making it distinct from typical competitive processes. The contract value stands at £371,865,477 for the period from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for large-scale healthcare providers with the capability to deliver comprehensive hospital services. Businesses well-suited to compete in this sector are those with substantial resources and expertise in acute and specialised healthcare services. The single-source procurement highlights the need for a provider that can supply an integrated range of services, which favours established providers with a proven track record in the healthcare field. This award could facilitate expansion and establish strong relationships within the NHS network for the awarded supplier, in this case, the Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
