Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) contract awards was managed by NHS England's National Commissioning Group under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This process involved awarding contracts for specialised mental health, learning disability, and autism services in the Midlands. The procurement pertained to several lots, including services such as Tier 4 CYPMHS Adolescent Medium Secure and specialised services for Deaf adults, with treatment locations specified across various NHS Foundation Trusts in the Midlands and surrounding regions. The process reached the award stage, with the contracts being signed on 1st April 2025 and set to run for an initial period of five years, with options to extend for two additional years. The procurement method opted for was a limited procedure due to technical reasons, as there were no alternative providers suitable for the services required.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in mental health services and care for individuals with learning disabilities or autism. Companies that already have established expertise and facilities in these areas would be best suited to replicate or expand similar service offerings. Although the procurement was not open for competition due to the specialised nature of the services, existing providers have the opportunity to build upon their current offerings and strengthen their positions as critical service providers within NHS England's strategy for mental health and disability support. As these services are crucial for the regional healthcare infrastructure, businesses involved can expect steady engagement over the contract's duration, with substantial potential for growth and extended collaboration through the available contract extensions.

These contracts have been held by NHS England during 2024/25 and will be awarded on the same basis.<br/>These contracts include multiple interdependent services, reflecting the nature of specialised care. It is therefore understood that there is no alternative provision for these contracts due to the specialised nature of the services and the essential role they play within the wider MHLDA care system.<br/><br/>This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) confirmation of contract award notice. This contract has been awarded under The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using Direct Award Process A.
