Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for the Community Mental Health Transformation for Adults, under the title "QHM-2025-9863 QHM-2024-5976 The PFC Trust CMHT". This is a service contract classified under miscellaneous health services within the health industry category. Located in Sunderland, UKC region, the contract follows the Direct Award Process C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, bypassing the typical procurement procedures outlined in The Procurement Act 2023. The contract period is from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, with a total contract value of GBP 122,945, and official signing took place on 16th July 2025. The awarding process was marked by a standstill period commencing on 4th August 2025, with the Intention-to-Award notice published beforehand.

This contract offers a strategic growth opportunity for businesses specialising in community health services, particularly those with experience in mental health transformation initiatives. The procurement method, which did not require prior publication of a competitive call, highlights the significance of existing provider relationships. This process can catalyse growth for businesses looking to expand their service portfolios or deepen their engagement with the NHS. Potential candidates well-suited to this contract would include large-scale health service providers capable of demonstrating strong performance in prior contracts, particularly those familiar with the provider selection criteria mandated by the PSR. Businesses poised to address complex healthcare needs and those already integrated into the NHS supply chain might find particular advantage in such contracts.
