Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust focuses on the provision of Perinatal Mental Health Services. This involves awarding a contract to Light Peer Support Ltd under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), specifically designed for health services, with the legal basis falling outside the typical scopes such as the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement process is categorized under the 'services' industry, emphasizing health services, with the procurement method being limited and utilizing a direct award without prior publication. The contract, originally intended to start on 1st October 2025, was marked as 'complete' as of 18th September 2025, following a standstill period that ended without any representations. The service is to be delivered in Sheffield, with the Health and Social Care Trust acting as the buyer from Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust which is located in Sheffield, United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those engaged in health services and peer support provision, to expand their market presence and deliver essential support for perinatal mental health. Enterprises that specialize in providing peer support workers and coordinators are well-suited to participate, with Light Peer Support Ltd already being awarded the contract under PSR terms, illustrating the demand for specialized support in mental health. Holding a contract valued at £252,703 for an initial 12 months with options to extend, businesses with a focus on innovation, quality, and reducing health inequalities can leverage this opportunity to enhance their service offerings and align with NHS standards, fostering business growth in a key public health sector.
