Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board commissioned a Cognitive Functional Therapy Service for delivery in Devon. The service is classified as physiotherapy and sits within the wider health services category. Cognitive Functional Therapy is a specialist approach used to support people with persistent musculoskeletal pain, combining physical rehabilitation with education and behavioural techniques. The requirement is for a dedicated service rather than general physiotherapy provision. The selected provider, Transform Health Ltd, is based in Exeter and is identified as the organisation delivering the service. The commissioning organisation is the NHS Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board, whose address is in Bodmin, Cornwall. The service forms one requirement and is not described as being divided into multiple service areas or delivery packages.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. NHS Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board used Direct Award Process A under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without publishing a prior call for competition. The buyer’s market assessment concluded that Transform Health Ltd was the only capable provider. The award was to Transform Health Ltd, and the contract was signed on 19 August 2026. The contract period runs from 1 January 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an option described for extension to 31 March 2028. The stated total lifetime value, including the extension period, is £537,592. Price was recorded as the award criterion, and one bid was recorded for the requirement. The Provider Selection Regime applies; the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply.

This award indicates demand for a specialist Cognitive Functional Therapy service within the NHS Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board area. A credible future competitor would need to provide physiotherapy-led cognitive functional therapy, with the clinical capability to deliver the complete service rather than isolated rehabilitation sessions. The buyer’s market assessment suggests that demonstrable capability to provide this specific model of care is central to selection. Relevant suppliers are likely to need experienced clinicians, suitable clinical governance, referral and patient-management arrangements, and the capacity to operate a dedicated service across Devon. The direct award route also shows that a provider must be able to evidence distinctive capability when the requirement is next reviewed. Health organisations with established musculoskeletal rehabilitation expertise and NHS service-delivery experience would be well placed to assess this demand.
