Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust has awarded a contract titled "Out of Area Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) Placement."

Located in Darlington, County Durham, this procurement is at the award stage, with the decision made on 2nd December 2024. The key purpose of this tender is to secure specialised psychiatric care for a named patient at the Priory Hospital, using a direct award process due to the specific and immediate needs of the service, which is highlighted by the absence of alternative providers in the required timeframe.

This tender represents a unique business growth opportunity for providers of psychiatric hospital services, particularly those capable of delivering specialised and acute care in PICU wards. Businesses with a strong track record in psychiatric care, inpatient mental health treatment, and the ability to respond promptly to critical placement needs would be well-suited to compete. The direct award nature of this procurement suggests ongoing potential for similar contracts, which can provide stable and lucrative engagement for suitable service providers. The continuity in service provision from spot purchasing to direct contracting with the Trust also points to a preference for reliable, high-quality care providers.
