## Summary

The Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for the provision of General Practitioner (GP) services at HMP Lowdham Grange, which falls under the healthcare services industry category. This contract was awarded as an urgent measure, necessitated by unforeseen circumstances, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023, bypassing the typical Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The direct award procedure was utilised due to the urgent requirement to ensure continuity of healthcare services without a prior competitive call. The contract, valued at approximately £439,746, was finalised on 16th July 2025. The location specified for this service is within the UKF1 region.

This tender presents an avenue for business expansion, especially for companies involved in healthcare services. Given the urgent nature of the award and the direct award process used, businesses that specialise in providing seamless, flexible healthcare contracts and that can quickly adapt to unforeseen circumstances will find opportunities here. Large-scale suppliers like SMNS Limited, located in Nottingham, who were awarded this contract, are particularly suited for such assignments. Therefore, firms with existing capabilities in healthcare services and the capacity to respond swiftly to urgent procurement needs would be advantageously positioned to compete in similar 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.
