Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Berkshire Mind Connector" project has been facilitated by the Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, located in Bracknell, United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically rehabilitation services (CPV code 85312500). The process reached the tender update stage on 13 June 2025, following a direct award procedure for the contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and in accordance with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract has now been formally awarded using process C. Notable key dates included a representation deadline by 26 March 2025 during the initial standstill period. The direct award occurred without prior competition call, indicative of a limited procurement method due to the procurement falling outside the directive's scope.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in rehabilitation services, particularly those already engaged with or interested in the healthcare sector. Companies that can demonstrate high-quality service delivery, value, integration, collaboration, and service sustainability will find this contract appealing. Businesses that can contribute to reducing health inequalities and improving access and choice may have competitive advantages. Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust's selection process focused on innovation and social value, making it suitable for experienced providers with a proven track record. With a contract value of £289,000, there is considerable potential for growth for businesses capable of meeting the procurement requirements and enhancing community mental health services in the region.
