Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust commissioned health and rehabilitation services to coordinate care packages for people receiving locked, unlocked and specialist treatment services. The work is care coordination rather than the delivery of a specified clinical treatment: the provider is responsible for making care packages work effectively across these service settings. Northamptonshire is the stated delivery location. The requirement is relevant to providers with experience coordinating complex packages of care for people in specialist treatment settings, and with the operational capability to work across secure and non-secure services. The Trust is the buyer and the requirement is classified broadly as health services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Cygnet (D/H) Limited. The Trust used a Direct Award C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without publishing a prior call for competition. It said the selected provider was already delivering the service, had been assessed against key criteria for current performance and expected capability, and that the requirement had not changed considerably from the previous contract. The award date is not recorded. The contract was signed on 1 April 2025, runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, and is valued at £516,450. The evaluation criteria recorded are quality, weighted 70%, and price, weighted 30%.

For providers considering a future requirement from this Trust, the award indicates demand for coordination of care packages across locked, unlocked and specialist treatment services in Northamptonshire. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate effective coordination across these settings, dependable delivery for people receiving specialist treatment, and the ability to meet the Trust’s quality expectations. The stated award rationale also shows that the Trust considered an incumbent provider’s current performance and its reasonable expectation that the provider could meet the requirement; evidence of strong service performance and continuity would therefore be important in competing for comparable work. Price mattered alongside quality, but quality carried greater weight in the recorded evaluation. This is a focused opportunity for organisations with relevant specialist care coordination capability, rather than general health-service suppliers without experience in these settings.
