Summary of the contracting process

The NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board is spearheading a contract for the West Yorkshire 24/7 All Age Crisis Text Service. This procurement, valued at £384,193 and classified under health services, is aimed at providing mental health support through a text service across West Yorkshire, United Kingdom. The process follows the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) regulations and has reached the contract award stage, as of 26 January 2026. Notably, the procurement bypasses the typical Public Contracts Regulations 2015 due to technical reasons, opting for a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The service is scheduled to commence on 1 April 2026 for a term of two years.

This tender is strategically aligned to create business growth opportunities, particularly for healthcare providers and organisations specialising in mental health services. Businesses adept in offering comprehensive crisis intervention and emotional support via text-based services, meeting criteria such as 24/7 service provision, confidentiality, and accessibility, stand well-suited to deliver this contract. This could be a significant opportunity for SMEs like Mental Health Innovations, which have a foundation in delivering specialised mental health support. Engaging in such high-impact services not only expands their market presence but also fulfills a vital community need, potentially fostering long-term partnerships within the healthcare sector in West Yorkshire.
