Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process outlined involves Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust, located in Ashton-under-Lyne, as the contracting authority. This process pertains to the provision of specialised mental health services titled "Cygnet Health Care - Child and Young Peoples Inpatient Mental Health Services." The industry category is health services, with a focus on various tier 4 mental health services for children and adolescents, including psychiatric intensive care and specialist eating disorder services. The contract covers the entire UK region, and the procurement stage is in the award and contract modification phase as of 4th March 2026. The contract period extends from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2027, following a one-year extension on the original contract that was initially set to end on 31st March 2026. Under the Provider Selection Regime, a direct award process without prior call for competition was utilised, indicating the procurement falls outside traditional directive application, based on the Health Care Services Regulations 2023.

This tender creates significant opportunities for growth in the health services industry, especially for large enterprises or SMEs specialising in mental health services for children and adolescents. Given its structured payment model based on actual service delivery and specified tariff rates, businesses with robust service delivery capabilities are well-positioned to compete. The provision does not guarantee specific activity volumes, encouraging continuous quality and efficiency. Firms with innovative solutions in inpatient mental health care and specialised services are likely to thrive, fulfilling the needs specified by Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust. Partnering with large organisations such as Cygnet Health Care Limited, which is a supplier, can bring about potential collaborations and expansions in service offerings across the country.
