## Summary

The procurement process, led by Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, focuses on the delivery of therapeutic services for adult survivors of sexual assault and rape. The procurement falls under the health services category (CPV: 85100000) and is centred in the Northamptonshire region (UKF25). The process has progressed to the award stage, with the contract being signed on 1st April 2025. The award was made without a prior call for competition owing to specific regulations designed for urgent health care needs. The awarded contract, valued at £31,500, was granted to Northamptonshire Rape Crisis (NRC) as the sole supplier, due to the unique nature of the services and urgency stated by the contracting authority.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for organisations specialised in health services, particularly those with expertise in supporting survivors of traumatic experiences. Given the limited procurement method used, businesses capable of providing specialised, high-quality therapeutic care promptly may find the situation rarely replicable but still insightful for understanding urgent awarding processes. However, such contracts often require deep-rooted expertise and a well-established reputation, making large organisations with existing frameworks and local health service capabilities more likely to succeed in similar opportunities.
