Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust commissioned a pelvic health physiotherapy service. The work is healthcare physiotherapy, intended to provide specialist support for patients with pelvic health needs. The procurement identifies Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust as the buyer and Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust as the selected provider. Delivery is associated with the United Kingdom; no more specific service location is identified. This is a focused clinical service rather than a general physiotherapy requirement, so it is most relevant to providers with established pelvic health physiotherapy capability and experience delivering services for NHS organisations.

The process is complete and the contract has been awarded to Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust through Direct Award Process A under the Provider Selection Regime. The stated rationale is that the existing provider was the only capable provider, with the evaluation criterion recorded as no realistic alternative provider. The award value is £72,000. Services were intended to run from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027; the contract was signed on 29 September 2026. The procurement used a direct award without prior publication of a competition. One bid is recorded. No conflicts of interest were identified among the decision makers.

For suppliers assessing comparable future work from Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust, this award signals demand for a defined pelvic health physiotherapy service and shows that continuity with an established provider was decisive in this case. A credible competitor would need demonstrable specialist pelvic health physiotherapy capability and the capacity to deliver the service reliably for an NHS trust. Evidence that the service can be provided safely and effectively, alongside relevant clinical expertise and a track record in comparable healthcare delivery, would be important to establishing that there is a realistic alternative to an incumbent. The recorded award was made through a Provider Selection Regime direct award route, so suppliers should note that the buyer’s rationale centred on provider capability and the absence of an alternative.
