Summary of the contracting process

Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust procured a framework for adult inpatient rehabilitation services for people with mental health needs. The requirement covers inpatient rehabilitation for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, split between two service areas. Providers must offer ensuite rooms and capacity for both male and female patients, with an approximate 85% male and 15% female mix. The services are intended for out-of-area placements and delivery across the United Kingdom. The procurement is for healthcare services, specifically rehabilitation hospital services. It is a framework for a range of providers rather than a single-service arrangement, allowing the Trust to use suitable inpatient rehabilitation capacity for adult patients requiring this type of care.

The competitive Provider Selection Regime process has reached award, with five active awards and active contracts signed on 29 June 2026. The selected suppliers are Cygnet Health Care Ltd, Partnerships in Care 1 Ltd, Priory Rehabilitation Services Ltd, Partnerships in Care Limited and Southern Hill Limited. The signed contract values are £581,904, £4,102,877, £2,975,372, £2,123,997 and £970,243 respectively; these are stated separately and are not totalled. The framework was run as an open procedure with a framework agreement. The tender closed on 1 December 2025, and the award period began that day. Each lot has a 720-day contract period, with two 12-month extension options. Evaluation weighted quality at 65%, price at 25% and Social Value at 10%, alongside selection and pass/fail requirements.

This award demonstrates established demand from Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust for adult inpatient mental health rehabilitation delivered through a multi-provider framework. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would need suitable inpatient facilities with ensuite rooms, the ability to accommodate both male and female patients, and clinical capacity across schizophrenia and bipolar disorder rehabilitation. The requirement favoured providers able to demonstrate safe, effective services, positive patient experience, strong leadership, sustainable resourcing, equity and innovation. Social Value formed part of the assessment, alongside price and quality, so credible future competitors would need evidence across all three areas rather than relying on low cost alone. The field included large healthcare providers and an SME, while 11 bids were recorded, indicating competition from established specialist organisations.
