The contract is intended for services within the health sector, specifically focusing on psychological therapy services provided across Surrey, excluding NE Hampshire & Farnham Place. The procurement is at an award stage and is governed by the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), aiming to ensure consistency with key criteria outlined under this regime. The contract, valued at £4,443,232, is intended to enhance access to mental health services, with an intention notice published on 15 September 2025, marking the start of a standstill period effective until 26 September 2025. The location specified under CPV classification for delivery is UKJ26, and the procurement method employed is limited, falling under a broader directive applicable outside traditional scopes.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, especially those with innovation in mental health therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy and counselling. Companies that integrate technological advances in healthcare provision, such as virtual or blended therapy delivery models, will find this contract particularly appealing. Dorking Healthcare, already identified as a capable provider under existing frameworks, exemplifies suitable business precedents, meeting rigorous quality and performance outcomes that align with national NHS priorities. With contract opportunities that focus on improving access, reducing inequalities, and enhancing service sustainability, businesses with a strategic focus on expanding service offerings in these domains are well positioned to benefit from such procurement awards.
