Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust procured an online digital mental health platform to provide internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy (I-CBT). The requirement is for a software service supporting online delivery of this therapy, rather than general software development. The recorded delivery location is Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire. The Trust is the buying organisation. This procurement shows demand for a digital platform that enables mental health services to offer I-CBT online; the service is specific to that therapeutic use and the Trust’s requirements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to American Well Corporation UK Limited. The award date was 18 May 2026, and the contract runs from 18 May 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded contract value is £32,000. The Trust used a selective call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework (RM1557.14), rather than a standalone open competition. The recorded tender estimate ranged from £30,000 to £32,000. The available procurement information does not describe lots or the basis used to evaluate suppliers; no evaluation criteria are therefore reported here. The tender deadline was 27 April 2026 at 12 noon. The contract is for a single online I-CBT platform service, with American Well Corporation UK Limited named as the selected supplier.

For suppliers of digital mental health platforms, this award is evidence of a defined NHS requirement for online I-CBT provision. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate a platform suited specifically to delivering internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy, and the ability to provide the associated software service to a mental health NHS trust. The award was made through a G-Cloud framework call-off, so relevant framework participation and readiness to compete through that route would be commercially pertinent when this requirement next reaches the market. The purchase was a focused, single-platform service rather than a broad technology programme, making a supplier’s experience delivering digital therapy platforms particularly relevant. The selected supplier was recorded as an SME, while the tender suitability settings did not identify the opportunity as suitable for SMEs or voluntary and community organisations.
