## Summary

The Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Hepatitis C Elimination" under urgent circumstances. This contract, valued at £9,770, covers health services at HMP Lowdham Grange in the UKF1 region. Initiated through a direct award due to unforeseen urgency, the procurement was managed under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations of 2023, and thus was exempt from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract was signed on 16th July 2025, with The Hepatitis C Trust being the designated supplier. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically Health services with CPV code 85100000, and highlights a limited procurement method executed without prior call for competition due to its pressing nature.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, especially under direct award situations where speedy mobilisation is crucial. Companies with competencies in rapid service delivery within the prison healthcare framework could explore similar opportunities to collaborate with public healthcare organisations. Given the criteria heavily weighted towards quality (70%) over price (30%), businesses that can offer high-standard healthcare solutions might find appealing openings in such contracts. This particular contract was awarded to The Hepatitis C Trust, an SME, indicating that smaller enterprises with niche capabilities in healthcare can successfully compete in this domain.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Trust considers that an award must be made urgently, the reason for the urgency was not foreseeable by and not attributable to the Trust due to the Emergency Award by NHS England of the Head Contract for Healthcare Services at HMP Lowdham to the Trust. Delaying the award of the contract to satisfy the requirements of the PSR would likely pose a risk to patient or public safety. The award term reflects the novation of existing supplier subcontracts from the incumbent on existing terms to ensure the continuity of healthcare services during the mobilisation period of less than three-months. The period of mobilisation would not have allowed the Trust to identify alternative provision for the subcontracted service. The relevant authority has awarded this contract under the Direct Award Process A - Urgent situation (F03) under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.
