## Summary

The Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Sexual Health Related Services" in the health services industry category. This procurement falls under the service category and involves an urgent award of contract due to unforeseen circumstances. The location specified for this service is HMP Lowdham Grange, with the procurement process culminated in an active contract awarded to Nottingham University Hospitals on 16th July 2025. The procurement method used was a limited, direct award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, reflecting an urgent need under the Health Care Services regulations of 2023.

Businesses experienced in health sector services, especially those familiar with NHS processes and contract management in urgent scenarios, are well-suited to engage and benefit from such opportunities.

### 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.
