Summary of the contracting process

The Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust has announced the modification of a contract under the Provider Selection Regime for delivering Cognitive Behavioural Therapy-Enhanced (CBT-E) services in Suffolk. This is geared towards individuals on the NSFT Suffolk Eating Disorder Waiting List and aims to provide up to 20 sessions per service user. The contract, valued at £47,760, was awarded to Altum Health on 25th June 2025. The procurement was classified under health and social work services, reflecting its critical nature in addressing urgent healthcare needs, without prior publication under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 due to urgent circumstances. This award notice marks the award stage in the procurement process and is significant due to the urgent need to mitigate patient safety risks and service delays. The services span across the region of UKH14, Suffolk, with the completion status indicated as 'complete' as of 18th August 2025.

The tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with a focus on eating disorder treatments and cognitive behavioural therapies. Given the limited nature of the procurement method, which required quick awarding to address immediate healthcare risks, businesses adept in delivering high-quality, rapid-response healthcare services could find this a significant growth avenue. The contract modification notice implies the necessity for adaptable healthcare providers that can promptly manage contract changes under regulatory modifications. Consequently, this creates an environment ripe for innovative health service providers to demonstrate their capabilities in contributing to crucial public health sectors, potentially influencing future direct procurements in similar domains.
