Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, specifically for specialised Tier 4 child and adolescent mental health inpatient services. The procurement falls under the health services industry category and is classified as a "services" procurement. This contract does not adhere to the traditional Public Contracts Regulations 2015 due to its urgent nature, being awarded without prior publication of a call for competition. Situated in Cheshire and Merseyside, the contract commenced on 18th July 2025 and will conclude on 17th July 2026. The awarded contract, valued indicatively at £55,638, is based on a zero value, zero volume basis where payment is linked to the delivered activity, which is subject to fluctuation based on service demand.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those experienced in managing adolescent mental health care facilities. Companies capable of rapidly adapting to urgent and critical care needs, such as mental health providers with existing infrastructure for handling complex adolescent cases, will find this contract attractive. The procurement was executed through a limited procedure method due to its urgent requirements, thus favouring businesses agile enough to respond swiftly and proficiently. The awarded supplier, Cygnet Health Care Limited, illustrates that large-scale, established healthcare providers are well-suited to fulfil such contracts, offering them a chance to expand their footprint in the specialised mental health sector.
