Summary of the contracting process

Devon Partnership NHS Trust has awarded a contract for the delivery of Primary Mental Health Treatment Requirements (MHTR) services across the Peninsula (Devon and Cornwall OPCC boundary). The procurement, which falls under the health services industry category, had multiple lots, specifically targeting Devon and Torbay, Plymouth, and Cornwall. The awarded contract, covering the Plymouth area (Lot 2), is valued at £508,156 and the services are set to commence from 1st April 2025 for a duration of seven years until 31st March 2032. The contract was awarded through the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) under competitive procedures as stipulated by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in mental health services. It is particularly suitable for larger healthcare providers or consortia capable of managing long-term governmental contracts. The specific requirements for service provision, such as addressing mental health needs within a judicial context, offer a niche market for experienced mental health care providers to expand their service portfolios and solidify their presence within the public sector. The division into multiple lots also allows for regional specialists to compete for contracts in their areas of expertise. Interested parties should consider the potential for recurring revenue streams and the alignment of their capabilities with the stipulated service deliverables.
