Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process overseen by the NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board focuses on the "Rapid Response Suicide Prevention" service, classified under community health services. Situated in Sunderland, UK, this contracting authority has completed the award phase, utilising a direct award process under the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023. The contract, valued at £228,893, has a set period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. Addressing the critical healthcare service category, the process invited limited competitive bidding under specific regulations, with awards and contracts confirmed by 28th August 2025.

This procurement offers substantial business growth potential for organisations specialising in health services, particularly those with experience in mental health and community welfare initiatives. Companies that have successfully delivered similar services under regulatory frameworks will find this opportunity well-aligned with their capabilities. The chosen method of a non-competitive direct award primarily suits larger, established entities that can ensure compliance and fulfil the service requirements as judged by the outlined Provider Selection Regime criteria.
