Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire County Council has issued a contract award notice for the Provision of Refugee and Asylum Seeker Mental Health Service. The procurement process falls under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and is outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, with a direct award method used. The contract commenced on 1st April 2025 and will run until 31st March 2027, with the option to extend for one year plus another, depending on funding and performance. The total contract value is £1,546,596, and the services will be delivered in Hertfordshire (region UKH23) under the CPV classification 85100000 (Health services).

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health services industry, particularly those experienced in providing specialised support for refugees and asylum seekers. Companies that can offer flexible, community-based early intervention mental health services would be well-suited for this contract, especially if they have established referral pathways and can quickly adapt to changing needs. The existing provider, Herts Mind Network, has been assessed and can likely satisfy the requirements of the new contract, indicating a strong demand for experienced mental health service providers in the region.
