Residential rehabilitation services for Border Force

The Home Office has recently completed a procurement process titled "Residential rehabilitation services for Border Force", focusing on the provision of vital health and rehabilitation services, including physiotherapy and psychological assessments, to its personnel. The contracting authority, based in London, sought services in the health and rehabilitation industry category, specifically targeting facilities within the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom.

The procurement method used was direct and executed without competition, due to the contract value being below threshold levels. The award was made official on 23 July 2025, with the contract coming into effect on 28 July 2025, and it is set to conclude on 27 July 2026.

With the contract valued at £134,000, it can spur growth for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially those experienced in managing contracts within the public sector, like the awarded supplier, The Police Treatment Centres. Such organisations, particularly those registered as a VCSE (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise), are well-positioned to deliver these services effectively, ensuring both compliance with government requirements and the delivery of exceptional patient care.
