Provision of a Physiotherapy Service
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for the urgent provision of physiotherapy services at HMP Lowdham Grange. This contract falls under the services industry category, specifically targeting physiotherapy services (CPV 85142100). The procurement followed a limited method without prior publication due to its urgency, as dictated by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023.
The contracting authority awarded the contract directly on 16th July 2025, valued at GBP 31,830 to Premier Physical Healthcare Ltd, to ensure continuity of care under urgent circumstances. The location of the delivery is identified as HMP Lowdham Grange, within the UKF1 region. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare services sector, especially those that can rapidly respond to urgent and unforeseen service needs.
Companies specialising in healthcare provision, particularly those with expertise in physiotherapy, can find opportunities for growth and partnership by engaging in similar direct awards necessitated by urgent public needs. Premier Physical Healthcare Ltd, classified as an SME, exemplifies the type of organisation well-suited for such procurement opportunities due to its size and ability to mobilise swiftly. This procurement method, and the circumstances leading to urgent awarding, highlight a potential niche for providers ready to meet immediate healthcare service requirements in challenging environments.
Provision of a Physiotherapy Service into a secure location
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.
