Summary of the contracting process

NHS North East London Integrated Care Board procured an Individual Placement and Support service for people with severe and complex mental illness. The provider supports people to retain existing jobs and find paid employment, recover from mental illness, build social connections and support networks, improve financial independence, and promote health and wellbeing. This is a community health and employment-support service, delivered in London. The requirement was for a single provider, rather than separate providers for different lots.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Working Well Trust. The award was made on 27 March 2026, and the contract was signed on 15 June 2026. Its value is £2,453,956. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028, with options to extend by up to two further years at the authority’s discretion. The buyer used an open procedure. Four bids were received. Bids were assessed on quality, weighted at 70%, and price, weighted at 30%. The submission deadline was 31 December 2025, following an extension. The contract sets quarterly measures for access, job outcomes and caseload sizes.

For suppliers considering comparable work for this buyer, the award demonstrates demand for an integrated employment-support service combining individual placement and support with mental-health recovery, job retention and routes into paid work. A credible provider would need to support people with severe and complex mental illness while building relationships that help sustain employment, social connections and wellbeing. The outcome also points to the importance of managing access, job outcomes and caseloads, with performance tracked regularly. The competition attracted four bids and was open to small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. This is a substantial, single-provider service, so relevant delivery experience, sufficient staffing and the ability to evidence service quality and outcomes would be important strengths.
