Summary of the contracting process

Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust has announced the award of a public procurement contract for “Community Connectors, LEP and Recovery & Connect Workers” under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This contract, valued at £1,009,125.00, is set to commence on 1st April 2025 and run until 31st March 2028, with an optional one-year extension available. The primary category of this procurement is community health services, located in the region of UKJ2. This process involved a standstill period from 12th February 2025 to 20th February 2025, and the contract was formally awarded on 28th February 2025 using a direct award process.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses working within the community health services sector, particularly those experienced with integrated service delivery for adults with significant mental health needs. The existing provider, Humankind Charity, operating as Waythrough, has been identified as the most suitable supplier through a comprehensive evaluation based on equal weighting of key criteria. Companies in a similar realm or with relevant expertise in collaborative health services would find such tenders beneficial for business growth and development of sustainable partnerships. The procurement method utilised, which bypasses a competitive call for competition, favours suppliers with proven capacity and past performance in fulfilling similar contractual obligations.
