Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is procuring a general practitioner service for forensic inpatients. The service covers Hatherton Centre and Ellesmere House at St George’s Hospital in Stafford, and Clee Building at The Redwoods Centre in Shrewsbury. It is healthcare provision for patients in forensic inpatient settings, delivered across these sites. The procurement is for one service package rather than separate site lots. Its focus is the provision of GP care to the inpatient population at the named facilities.

The process records an intention to award under the Provider Selection Regime, following a direct award process without a published competition. The release describes the notice as starting a standstill period, with representations due by 12 October 2026, while also stating that the award had not yet formally taken place. The award data names Staffordshire Care Direct Ltd as the selected supplier; the contract is recorded as active and signed on 1 October 2026. Its value is £66,754.24. The service period is intended to run from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2028, with an optional extension of up to 12 months. The stated evaluation basis is the incumbent’s satisfactory performance and expected service standard, alongside price and quality criteria.

This award indicates demand for GP provision within forensic inpatient services across hospital sites in Stafford and Shrewsbury. A credible competitor when this requirement next returns would need to demonstrate the ability to deliver reliable primary care to forensic inpatients across multiple locations, and evidence that its service meets the required standard. The stated rationale places particular weight on continuity and satisfactory performance by the existing provider, so a supplier would need a strong record of dependable delivery and quality in a comparable care setting. The process used a direct award route rather than a competitive call for tenders, and the recorded award went to an SME. This is a focused healthcare service requirement, best suited to providers with relevant clinical capability and operational capacity for the named facilities.
