Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Northamptonshire Integrated Care Board commissioned a package of community healthcare services from Northamptonshire Healthcare Foundation Trust. The scope covers community services, end-of-life care, and mental health and learning disability services. These are hospital and related healthcare services, classified under CPV 85110000. Delivery is across Northamptonshire, including the areas represented by West Northamptonshire and North Northamptonshire. The buying organisation is based in Kettering, while the selected provider is based in Northampton. The requirement is for a substantial, integrated local healthcare service rather than the supply of standalone goods or equipment, so relevant businesses are likely to be NHS providers, healthcare organisations or established specialist operators able to deliver several community and clinical service lines together.

The procurement has been awarded under Direct Award Process A of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) 2023, using an award procedure without prior publication of a competition. The stated rationale is that there was no realistic alternative provider; the evaluation basis was cost, recorded as 100. Northamptonshire Healthcare Foundation Trust was selected, and the contract was signed on 1 April 2026. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The lot description gives a value of £133,827,346, while the signed contract value is £133,821,346; these figures should be treated as separate published values. The award is recorded as active. One bid was recorded for the lot, and the procurement is marked complete.

This award demonstrates demand from NHS Northamptonshire Integrated Care Board for a provider able to deliver a broad, locally integrated healthcare package spanning community care, end-of-life care, mental health, and learning disability services. A credible future competitor would need the clinical workforce, governance, safeguarding, quality assurance and operational capacity to manage multiple service lines across Northamptonshire. Experience of NHS commissioning and contract delivery would be highly relevant, as would the ability to coordinate services across community settings and maintain continuity of care. The route used also shows that the buyer may consider an established provider with a convincing case that it can deliver the required services and that there is no realistic alternative.
