Located in Alconbury Weald, Huntingdon, the contract was initiated through an open procedure, valued at £4,477,978 excluding VAT. The service aims to support adults with poor mental health in Cambridgeshire and offers various support methods, including a 1:1 statutory service, group activities, online support, and financial assistance. The procurement process has now reached completion, with CPSL Mind Ltd designated as a key supplier, and the standstill period concluded on 23 July 2026. The contract period is set from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with two optional one-year extensions, depending on funding and performance considerations.
