Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for Specialist Talking Therapy Services was undertaken by the Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust. This tender, categorised under Health services, was conducted in Manchester, United Kingdom. Originally initiated as a tender, it has moved through to the award stage with its current status marked as complete. The key procurement method used was a limited process, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as it fell outside the scope of the standard directive. The contract was signed on 1st April 2025, and the value of the awarded contract is GBP 33,500.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the healthcare service industry, particularly those experienced in providing specialist talking therapy services. Given the requirement's nature and the procurement method, larger organisations capable of direct awards without competitive bidding, such as "We Are Survivors" who were successfully awarded this contract, will find this tender appealing. Businesses looking to enter or expand within the Manchester region's healthcare market may consider similar opportunities, as they offer growth potential in delivering essential services to the community through government contracts.
