Summary of the contracting process

Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust is seeking a supplier to provide Tier 4 child and adolescent mental health (CAMHS) beds and associated services. Tier 4 care is specialist inpatient mental health provision for children and young people. The requirement covers hospital and related services, community health services and psychiatric hospital services. Delivery is intended for the BNSSG area, covering Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire, with the procurement associated with the Trust’s Bath base. This is a healthcare services opportunity rather than a supply of equipment or general construction works. It is suitable for organisations able to provide specialist CAMHS inpatient capacity and the related clinical and support services needed around those beds.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: the Trust invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline for submitting offers was 7 September 2026 at 1:00pm. The contract period set by the buyer runs from 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2029. Its estimated total value is £2,000,000 excluding any applicable taxes, in pounds sterling. The requirement is presented as a single service opportunity rather than separate lots. The procurement is categorised as services, with the principal classification covering hospital and related services. The stated requirement is specifically for CAMHS Tier 4 beds and associated services in the BNSSG area. Bidders should review the competition requirements and submission arrangements before preparing an offer.

This opportunity suits specialist mental health providers, NHS organisations, independent healthcare companies and other established care organisations with the ability to deliver Tier 4 CAMHS inpatient services. Strong candidates will have suitable clinical facilities, appropriately qualified multidisciplinary staff, safeguarding arrangements and experience caring for children and young people with complex mental health needs. They will also need the operational capacity to provide beds and associated services across the BNSSG area, and to work effectively with local health and community services. The procurement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so a specialist SME with the necessary clinical capability and delivery infrastructure may be well placed to compete, either directly or through a suitable delivery partnership.
