Summary of the contracting process

Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust commissioned adult inpatient mental health rehabilitation through a multi-provider framework. The service covers rehabilitation for people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, with a mix of male and female beds; the stated approximate bed mix is 85% male and 15% female. All rooms must be ensuite. This is specialist hospital-based rehabilitation provision for adults who require inpatient care, rather than general community mental health support. Delivery is described as out-of-area placements, with the procurement covering services across the UK. The requirement was divided into separate lots for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, allowing providers to serve one or both diagnostic groups.

The procurement has been awarded under the competitive process of the Provider Selection Regime, and the framework arrangements have been formally awarded. Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust selected Cygnet Health Care Ltd (£581,904), Partnerships in Care 1 Ltd (£4,102,877), Priory Rehabilitation Services Ltd (£2,975,372), Partnerships in Care Ltd (£2,123,997) and Southern Hill Limited (£970,243). Each contract was signed on 29 June 2026; the stated contract term runs from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2028, with an option to extend by a further two years. The framework covers two years initially, with two 12-month extension options. The open competitive process closed on 1 December 2025. Evaluation considered selection and pass/fail requirements, with quality weighted at 65%, price at 25% and social value at 10%.

This framework demonstrates demand from Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust for specialist adult inpatient rehabilitation placements across schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Credible providers need to operate inpatient rehabilitation services for adults with significant mental health needs, offer ensuite accommodation and provide a suitable mix of male and female beds. The range of selected providers and the division into diagnostic lots indicate that both broader capacity and focused expertise may be relevant to competing for this type of requirement. The evaluation gave most weight to service quality, including safe and effective care, positive experience, leadership, sustainable resourcing, equity and innovation; social value also contributed, alongside price. Providers should therefore be able to evidence strong clinical delivery and service quality as well as the capacity to accommodate placements. The Trust has previously purchased these services, and this award establishes a framework route for future provision.
