Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Northamptonshire Integrated Care Board procured hospital and related services for Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust. The scope covers accident and emergency services, including Type 1 and Type 2 provision; acute services; cancer and radiotherapy services; community services; diagnostic, screening and pathology services; end-of-life care; and urgent treatment centre services, including walk-in centres and minor injuries units. The work is delivered in Northampton and supports a broad range of hospital, urgent care, diagnostic and community healthcare needs. The procurement is classified under CPV 85110000, Hospital and related services. Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust is both the hospital associated with the requirement and the selected service provider.

This procurement has been awarded under Direct Award Process A of the Provider Selection Regime for Health Care Services 2023, using an award procedure without prior publication of a competition. The award was made to Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust. The stated basis was that there was no realistic alternative provider, with cost given a 100% weighting. The awarded and contracted value is £485,339,022 including associated NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland ICB and NHS Central East ICB arrangements. The contract was signed on 2 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. One bid was recorded, and the tender reached complete status.

This award indicates substantial, integrated demand from NHS Northamptonshire ICB for a large portfolio of hospital, urgent care, community, diagnostic and specialist clinical services delivered through one provider. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the clinical infrastructure, workforce, governance and operational capacity to deliver accident and emergency, acute, cancer, radiotherapy, community, pathology, end-of-life and urgent treatment services as a coordinated local system. The selected supplier is a large NHS hospital trust, so relevant experience of managing complex hospital services, patient safety, clinical quality, statutory healthcare requirements and NHS commissioning relationships would be important. The direct award rationale also shows that demonstrating a realistic alternative provider would be commercially significant.
