Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by NHS Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West Integrated Care Board is centred on the provision of Mental Health Support Teams (MHST) in Berkshire West. This contract falls under the services category, specifically within health services, and is governed by the HealthCare Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, exempt from Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract is set to commence on 1st August 2025 and run until 31st July 2028, with an option to extend until 31st July 2030. The total contract value is £14,125,000 excluding VAT. The procurement method was limited, forgoing a prior call for competition, reflecting the directive's outside scope. The standstill period ends on 9th May 2025, suggesting that the award is likely to be imminent.

This tender presents growth opportunities particularly for organisations experienced in delivering comprehensive mental health services and collaboration within the healthcare sector. The procurement is relevant for businesses within the health services industry, offering a substantial contract and the prospect of a long-term partnership with the NHS. The award criteria emphasise quality and innovation, integration, collaboration, reducing health inequalities, and social value, indicating that businesses focusing on innovative healthcare solutions and social responsibility may have a competitive edge. Large healthcare providers, like the leading candidate Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, would be well-suited to compete in this procurement process.
