Summary of the contracting process

NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board commissioned the Bassetlaw Psychosexual Therapy Service, a healthcare service for adults experiencing psychosexual difficulties that affect physical health, emotional wellbeing, relationships and quality of life. The work consists of psychosexual counselling and therapeutic interventions delivered in Bassetlaw. It falls within health services. The buyer is the NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board, based in Nottingham. The selected provider is Leger Therapy Services Ltd, whose address is in Bassetlaw. The requirement is therefore relevant to providers of adult psychosexual therapy, counselling and related clinical interventions able to serve patients in the Bassetlaw area and work within NHS commissioning arrangements.

The procurement has reached the award stage: the contract was formally awarded under Provider Selection Regime direct award process C to Leger Therapy Services Ltd, and the contract was signed on 13 July 2026. The contract is active and has an approximate lifetime value of £16,071, with services intended from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2028. The route was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, using an existing-provider direct award rather than an open competition. The published decision rationale was that the existing provider was satisfying the original contract and was likely to meet the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. Quality carried 100% of the evaluation weighting and cost carried 0%. One bid was recorded. The arrangement includes options under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

For a provider that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined local NHS requirement for adult psychosexual counselling and therapeutic intervention in Bassetlaw. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability to assess and treat adults whose psychosexual difficulties affect health, wellbeing, relationships and quality of life, with a service model suitable for NHS patients and commissioning requirements. The award route also indicates that continuity and evidence of satisfactory performance matter substantially: the selected provider was an existing provider and quality was the sole weighted evaluation consideration. Relevant suppliers should therefore be able to evidence effective clinical delivery, a strong quality record and the capacity to provide a consistent local service, rather than relying mainly on a low-cost offer.
