Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has initiated a procurement process to expand access for individuals with severe and enduring mental illness to Individual Placement and Support (IPS) services under the title "IPS Expansion." This procurement falls within the business and management consultancy services category and covers 8 regional locations across England with 42 IPS services. The open procedure is currently at the award stage, following a tender that was active from 23/24 to 28/29. Key dates include a tender period ending on 20 June 2024 and an award made to Social Finance Limited on 10 September 2024. NHS England, a national agency based in Leeds, is coordinating this initiative, aiming to address regional provision disparities while adhering to the IPS Fidelity Model.

This expansion presents considerable opportunities for business growth, particularly for consultancies specialising in business and management services, and those capable of addressing complex regional and local healthcare needs. The successful tenderer will need to demonstrate high technical quality and social value, along with cost-effectiveness. Given the focus on coordinating responses to significant implementation challenges, businesses with experience in health service delivery and innovation, strong regional networks, and prior engagements with health organisations are well-suited to compete for such opportunities. The project’s scale and duration provide an excellent platform for market engagement and long-term strategic alignment with NHS goals.
