The service provides treatment in a pressurised chamber, delivered by a specialist provider. The contract requires care in line with the 2018 HBOT service specification, alongside service development and improvement plans to support progression towards compliance with the 2025 specification. The selected provider is Midlands Diving Chamber, based in Rugby. The requirement is for a specialist healthcare service rather than general health provision, and is centred on delivering HBOT across the Midlands region. The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Midlands Diving Chamber following a direct award under Process A of the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime, after previous attempts to procure the service competitively. The award date was 1 October 2026; the contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030 and is valued at £4,813,860. The process had one bid. The stated award basis was that there was no realistic alternative provider, assessed on quality (100) and cost (0). The contract is for a single lot. NHS England made the award decision; no conflicts of interest were declared by decision-makers. For specialist providers of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, this award demonstrates NHS England’s demand for all-ages treatment across the Midlands and the scale and service expectations of this requirement. A credible provider needs the facilities, clinical capability and operational capacity to deliver HBOT in line with the applicable service specification, as well as the ability to develop the service and implement improvement plans against updated requirements. The award went to an existing provider through a direct award after earlier competitive procurement attempts, with the decision based on there being no realistic alternative provider rather than price competition. Providers positioning for a comparable requirement should therefore be able to demonstrate that they can deliver the specified service and sustain quality and improvement over a multi-year contract. ## Notice This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) confirmation of contract award notice.
