Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council has engaged in a contract for the provision of Mental Health Prevention Services, awarded to PSS (UK). The services are focused on supporting adults experiencing mild to moderate mental health issues, aiming to prevent and reduce the demand on more acute mental health services. As part of a broader transformation within the council's approach to mental health support, the service includes various innovative measures such as a "No Wrong Door" approach, peer mentoring, and neighbourhood-based services. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure, and the contract commenced on 1 April 2026, running through to 31 March 2029, with potential extensions up to 2031. The total contract value is approximately £4.23 million, with opportunities for additional services contingent on further funding.

This tender extends a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in community health services, particularly those with expertise in mental health prevention strategies. Large enterprises, as well as SMEs keen on impact-driven projects, would find this contract suited to their offerings. The services demand innovation and flexibility, suggesting that businesses with strong collaboration capabilities and a focus on community engagement, education, and training will have a competitive edge. Furthermore, the option for additional services allows businesses to expand their interventions as funding becomes available, fostering long-term growth and sustainable service delivery. This presents a promising avenue for enterprises looking to enhance their market presence in public health services within the Liverpool area.
