Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust procured rehabilitation health services: co-ordination of care packages for locked and unlocked services and specialist treatment. The work is for people receiving these forms of treatment, with delivery in Northamptonshire. The requirement covers effective co-ordination across the care packages rather than a stated supply of clinical treatment itself. The Trust is the buyer, and the selected provider is Cygnet Behavioural Health Ltd. The procurement falls within health services and is focused on managing care packages across the specified treatment settings. This describes a specialist healthcare service for providers with relevant experience coordinating care for people in locked or unlocked services and specialist treatment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Cygnet Behavioural Health Ltd. Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust used a Direct Award C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without a published competition. The Trust states that the provider was an existing supplier, assessed against key criteria for current performance and its expected ability to meet the requirement; the service was not substantially changed from the previous contract. The contract is valued at £2,132,942. It was signed on 1 April 2025 and covers one year, from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. One bid was recorded. The stated evaluation split was 70% quality and 30% price. The lot is marked cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active.

This award shows demand from Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust for co-ordination of care packages across locked and unlocked services and specialist treatment. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to co-ordinate care effectively across these settings, maintain reliable service delivery and provide evidence of strong performance against the buyer’s key criteria. The selected supplier was an existing provider, and the Trust’s rationale rested on its review of that provider’s performance and its expectation that it could meet the requirement. Providers with established experience delivering comparable specialist healthcare co-ordination, and the capacity to sustain it across the service, would therefore be better placed to compete. The route used here was a Provider Selection Regime direct award, rather than an open competition; quality carried greater weight than price in the stated evaluation.
