Summary of the contracting process

The contract process initiated by NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland ICB focuses on the "Improving Access to Psychological Therapies" programme, classified under the industry category of psychiatrist or psychologist services. The procurement, taking place in the Leicestershire area (region UKF21 and UKF22), involves the modification of an existing contract for a 2-year extension. It operates under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Key dates include the award date of 14th August 2025, with the contracting process having progressed into the award and contract update stages. This follows the formal modification of the contract as per regulatory provisions stated in the PSR's Regulation 13 (1)(a), thereby excluding Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Procurement Act 2023 from applicability.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in mental health services, as it aligns with the national strategy for mental health improvement. Providers who can deliver scalable psychiatrist or psychologist services are well-positioned to compete, particularly those that can support the expansion and enhancement of cognitive therapies addressing depression and anxiety. Vita Health Group, a large-scale supplier, is already involved, indicating that substantial organisational capabilities and a strong track record in the healthcare services domain are advantageous for participation. The procurement approach under PSR favours entities that can show clear, unambiguous compliance and adaptability to NHS standards and expectations, fostering growth potential for qualified service providers.
