Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office commissioned residential rehabilitation services for Border Force staff. The requirement covers stays of up to two weeks, combining physiotherapy, psychological assessment, treatment services and accommodation with meals. This is a health and rehabilitation services contract, classified under CPV 85100000. Delivery is required in the United Kingdom. The procurement is intended to support Border Force employees through residential treatment rather than to provide general healthcare, accommodation or standalone consultancy. It would suit organisations operating residential rehabilitation facilities with clinical treatment capability, including physiotherapy and psychological assessment, and the ability to provide meals and accommodation as part of an integrated service. The requirement was structured as one lot and was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded following a direct award. The Home Office selected The Police Treatment Centres as the supplier, with the award dated 26 August 2026. The award value is £405,000 excluding VAT and £486,000 including VAT. The award is below the relevant threshold. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 27 July 2029. The buyer’s stated rationale was that a single supplier could meet the requirement for technical reasons and that competition was absent for technical reasons. The procurement falls under the light-touch regime. It was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The award is recorded against one completed lot, covering the full residential rehabilitation service.

This procurement indicates demand from the Home Office for an integrated residential rehabilitation offer for Border Force staff. A credible future supplier would need a suitable residential facility, qualified physiotherapy provision, psychological assessment capability and treatment services, with accommodation and meals delivered as one coordinated service. Providers should be able to support stays of up to two weeks and demonstrate that their clinical, residential and operational arrangements can work together reliably. The buyer’s use of a direct award for technical reasons means a competitor would need to show a clearly differentiated ability to meet the whole requirement, rather than offering only one treatment element. The opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making this relevant to specialist independent rehabilitation providers as well as larger healthcare organisations.
