## Summary

The recent procurement process initiated by Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust involves the urgent award of a contract for the Provision of a Sexual Health Service at HMP Ranby, due to unforeseen circumstances and an emergency award by NHS England. The industry category falls under Health Services (CPV 85100000) with services being the main procurement category. Although the tender stage is complete and the contract status is active, the specific procurement was executed under a limited method without prior publication, specifically for urgent situations. The contract was signed on 1st October 2025, and is valued at £13,851.20, with Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust being the awarded supplier.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in health services, particularly those capable of supporting urgent service continuity in healthcare environments. Companies with expertise in providing health services within secure institutions, such as prisons, may find themselves well-positioned for similar future tender opportunities. Particularly, businesses that prioritise and can deliver high quality (70% weightage in award criteria) and competitive pricing (30% weightage) will align well with the evaluation framework of this tender, preparing them to respond effectively to urgent procurement needs in the public healthcare sector.

### 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 Ranby 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
