Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by the NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board focuses on the provision of services within the Mental Health Arts and Sports Project. This project is categorized under psychiatrist or psychologist services aimed at supporting young people aged 12 to 25 with histories of multiple Adverse Childhood Experiences. It covers services to be delivered in the London Borough of Haringey and Islington. The procurement stage is at the confirmation of contract award with a formal award notice issued on 23 April 2025, and the contract period commencing from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. The total contract value is £250,000, and it follows a limited procurement method under the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, without prior publication of a call for competition.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specializing in mental health services, particularly those with expertise in youth psychotherapy and trauma-informed care. The project also integrates arts, sports, and creative activities, offering potential growth avenues for enterprises engaged in these sectors. Given the need for collaboration and service sustainability, organisations that demonstrate innovative approaches and adhere to social value principles, such as the London Living Wage, would be well-suited to compete in this space. The procurement method's reliance on existing provider capabilities underscores the value of continuity and established service delivery standards, making it ideal for firms with proven track records in similar contracts.
