NHS2285 - - Stratton Overnight Services for financial year 25/26

The procurement process for the Stratton Overnight Services for the financial year 2025/2026 was undertaken by the Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. The project focuses on providing community health services, specifically offering overnight coverage at the Stratton Community Hospital in Cornwall and Isles of Scilly. This notice is an intention to award under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Direct Award C procedure, commencing on 1st April 2025 with a contract end date of 31st March 2026.

The procurement method utilised was limited, with no prior publication of a call for competition, owing to it being outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Key criteria in the tender were assessed on a pass/fail basis, with the existing provider having satisfied all criteria necessary for the award. The current procurement stage involves the award and contract phase.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in community health services, particularly those experienced in providing healthcare in rural settings. Companies with a strong track record in delivering overnight healthcare services and the capacity to operate within regulatory frameworks such as the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 would be well-suited to compete for contracts of this nature. The contract offers a chance to establish partnerships with local NHS trusts, potentially opening doors for future tenders in the health sector, especially in regions aiming to enhance localised medical services.
