Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is buying rehabilitation and health services to coordinate care packages for people using locked and unlocked services and specialist treatment. The work is intended to provide effective coordination across these care packages, rather than a general rehabilitation service. Delivery is in Northamptonshire. The service is classified as health services (CPV 85100000). The awarded provider, Pottergate Centre, is based in Norwich. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust serving Northamptonshire, and this procurement concerns its rehabilitation service provision.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Pottergate Centre through a Direct Award C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without a prior call for competition. The Trust states that the provider was already delivering the service, passed a key-criteria assessment of performance and ability to meet the requirement, and that the requirement had not changed considerably. One bid was recorded. The award is active; the associated contract is active and was signed on 1 April 2025. Its value is £64,680. The contract period runs for one year, from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. The lot's evaluation criteria gave quality 70% and price 30%; no additional purchase options are indicated.

For suppliers considering this requirement when it returns to market, the award shows demand for coordinated care packages spanning locked and unlocked services and specialist treatment in Northamptonshire. A credible provider would need to deliver effective coordination across those care settings and demonstrate a strong record of service quality, as quality carried more weight than price in the stated evaluation. The Trust’s rationale also makes demonstrated current performance and confidence in the provider’s ability to meet the requirement central to its assessment. The selected provider was already delivering a substantially unchanged service, so relevant operational experience and continuity in this specific rehabilitation provision would be important competitive strengths. This is a focused health-service requirement, best suited to providers with the capability to coordinate complex care packages for the Trust.
