Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office, a central government public authority located in London, UK, has awarded a contract for the "MindSpring Psycho-Education Programme – Pilot Continuation". This procurement falls under the services category, with the primary objective of extending the pilot phase initially carried out from October 2023 to February 2024. The award was completed through a direct procurement method, below the threshold and without competition, due to the supplier, Oasis, owning the programme content and materials. The contract, valued at £45,931, is scheduled to run from 28 July 2025 to 5 April 2026. The programme is set to operate from an educational centre location in the UKD72 region, with Oasis based in Cardiff as the supplier.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in psycho-educational services, particularly those with capabilities and resources in developing and running educational programmes. Companies that specialise in direct award contracts and have existing intellectual property relevant to such programmes might find this an excellent chance to leverage and expand their offerings. Businesses positioned as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSE) could also find alignment given the nature of the programme and the type of supplier already engaged in the contract. As the procurement has concluded, following such examples could guide similar enterprises in preparing for future opportunities with the Home Office or similar government bodies.
