Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wakefield CCG has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "Improving Access to Psychological Therapies," which falls under the health services category. This process is significant as it aims to enhance mental health support for the GP registered residents of Wakefield. The procurement was executed using a limited method, specifically a negotiated process without the publication of a contract notice. The relevant dates include the contract being signed on 16 March 2022, and the existing agreement is set to expire on 30 September 2022.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in mental health services, particularly those that can provide a clinically qualified workforce adhering to the specific IAPT framework. Companies capable of demonstrating continuity in service provision and having a solid reputation, similar to that of the current provider, Turning Point Services Limited, will be well-suited to compete. Given the ongoing challenges in recruiting and retaining qualified IAPT staff, businesses that can effectively address these issues may have a competitive advantage in this procurement landscape.

Notice Title

NHS Wakefield CCG: Improving Access to Psychological Therapies

Notice Description

Improving Access to Psychological Therapies for Wakefield GP registered residents.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) is a nationally required mental health services and therefore must be commissioned in Wakefield to a specific framework. This is a specialist service that requires a specifically clinically qualified workforce which the current provider offers. There are clear benefits to be gained from maintaining continuity with our current provider (for example, they are a known and trusted brand, with a well-established, yet flexible approach to service delivery) and significant risks associated with the potential loss of workforce triggered by a formal procurement process. IAPT qualified workers are constantly in short supply and it is typical for an IAPT service to be carrying vacancies. Staff recruitment and retention is an on-going challenge and the uncertainty caused by putting a service out to the market could result in significant loss to the workforce. WCCG is satisfied with Turning Point's performance to date and don't seek to make significant changes to the current contractual arrangements, when the existing agreement expires 30/09/2022.
