Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust commissioned rehabilitation health services to coordinate care packages across locked, unlocked and specialist treatment services. The work is delivered in Northamptonshire. The requirement is focused on coordinating packages of care for people receiving these forms of treatment, rather than a general rehabilitation service. The Trust is the buying organisation, and the selected provider, St Matthews Healthcare, is based in Northampton. The service sits within health services and is classified under CPV 85100000.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to St Matthews Healthcare. The Trust used a Direct Award C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without a prior call for competition. It said the provider was already delivering the service, had been assessed against key criteria, and was expected to meet the requirement; the service had not changed considerably from the previous contract. Quality accounted for 70% of the award assessment and price for 30%. The contract period was 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, and it was signed on 1 April 2025. The contract value is £3,908,970. One bid was recorded.

For suppliers seeking to compete for this buyer’s rehabilitation services in future, the evidence points to a need for proven capability coordinating care packages across locked, unlocked and specialist treatment settings in Northamptonshire. Credibility will depend on demonstrating effective delivery and reliable performance against the buyer’s key criteria, as the selected incumbent was reviewed for current performance and its expected ability to meet the requirement. Suppliers should be able to show service continuity and capacity to deliver a requirement that was materially similar to the previous arrangement. The assessment placed greater weight on quality than price, so a strong, evidence-based quality offer would matter alongside competitive pricing. This is a substantial health-services contract requiring the organisational capacity to manage coordinated packages across these treatment services.
