Summary of the contracting process

The Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, in conjunction with the United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust as the procurement agent, has led the procurement process for the provision of Adult Mental Health Stepdown Services at Ashley House in Grantham, United Kingdom. The process was conducted using an open procedure covering the health and social work services industry category. The procurement stage has reached completion, with the contract awarded to Turning Point (Services) Ltd. The contract period is set from 13 October 2025 to 12 October 2027, with options for renewal. This tender aimed to utilise an unused unit to alleviate long-stay pressures on the urgent care pathway and involved a budget of £1.8 million. Significant dates included the publication of the contract notice on 19 August 2025, and the start of the contract on 13 October 2025. Ashley House offers various bedroom facilities to support this initiative, providing step-down accommodation for clinically ready-for-discharge patients.

This contract represents a strategic growth opportunity for providers within the health and social services sector looking to engage with NHS trusts. Businesses adept at handling service delivery with a strong focus on quality, contract management, and performance monitoring would be well-suited to compete in this space as these were the key assessment criteria during the tender process. With the potential for further extensions, expanding the services footprint within England's healthcare system is feasible, especially for large-scale entities like Turning Point (Services) Ltd which successfully secured this contract amidst competition including bids from SMEs and VCSEs. Such projects can catalyse organisational growth through enhanced service delivery and strategic NHS partnerships.
