Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the Southampton Mental Health Recovery Service is being conducted by Southampton City Council, located in the United Kingdom. This tender relates to the health and social work services industry and focuses on commissioning a non-CQC registered mental health recovery service to support various community-based recovery initiatives. Key milestones include the publication of the intention to award notice, with an eight-working-day standstill period commencing on 31st July 2025. Representations must be completed by 11th August 2025. The procurement occurs under the Provider Selection Regime, as outlined by the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, and not under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract is set to commence on 1st September 2025 and may continue until 31st August 2028 if extended.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in mental health and social care services, particularly those experienced in providing recovery and reablement support, hospital step-down services, and crisis prevention. Organisations with innovative approaches to service delivery and a focus on improving community health outcomes would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The tender process, focusing on a limited procurement method due to the unique sustainability and integration needs, prioritises providers categorised under key criteria like quality, innovation, and social value. Businesses with proven capabilities in delivering value and reducing health inequalities, such as Solent NHS Trust, which was previously selected for meeting all selection criteria, are particularly well-positioned to benefit from this procurement opportunity.
