Summary of the contracting process

Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust procured a consultant-led neurophysiology insourcing service for Northampton General Hospital in Northampton. The service is designed around the Trust’s workforce gaps, reporting requirements and clinic structure, providing specialist neurophysiology capacity within the hospital’s clinical service. It is a health service procurement, covering delivery under an NHS sub-contract and a national framework arrangement. The requirement concerns the organisation and delivery of neurophysiology services rather than equipment, construction or general staffing. The selected provider is a specialist neurophysiology services business. The work is therefore relevant to organisations able to provide consultant-led neurophysiology delivery, clinical reporting and service capacity within an NHS hospital environment.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. NeurophysCare Ltd was selected as the supplier for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026, with a stated service period from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2027. Its value is £597,000. The Trust used the urgent-circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without prior publication of a competition notice, because loss of staff created an extreme risk to safety and quality of care. The service was awarded through a national framework agreement and NHS sub-contract. The published evaluation basis was addressing immediate risks to safety and quality of care, weighted at 100, with price also recorded as an award criterion. The procurement lot is recorded as cancelled, although the award and contract are active.

This award is useful market evidence for providers of consultant-led neurophysiology insourcing services. A credible competitor for a future requirement with Northampton General Hospital would need to supply specialist clinical capacity that can address workforce gaps, operate within an established hospital clinic structure and produce the required clinical reports. The requirement indicates that continuity, safety and quality of care are central to the buyer’s decision, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate robust clinical delivery and the ability to respond to urgent workforce risks. Experience of NHS service delivery, NHS sub-contracting and working through a national framework arrangement would be commercially relevant. Specialist SMEs may be well placed where they can provide consultant-led neurophysiology teams and integrate their service with the Trust’s existing operations.
