Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "HPFT - Mental Health Rehabilitation Services" was conducted by the Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust, focusing on the delivery of two Intensive Enablement services – Midpoint in Stevenage and Stewarts in Harpenden, both located in Hertfordshire. The services are tailored for individuals with functional mental illness and complex needs, with the aim of transitioning them into semi-independent or independent living. The procurement was carried out under an open procedure compliant with the New Procurement Act 2023. Following the planning and tender stages that took place in early 2026, the contract was awarded on 23rd June 2026 to Turning Point (Services) Ltd. The services will commence on 5th October 2026 and continue until October 2029, with the possibility of yearly extensions up to 2032.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in mental health rehabilitation services, especially those that can provide high-quality, cost-effective care within a social care setting. The contract is beneficial for both large organisations and small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as the procurement was open to bids from various sized suppliers. Companies specialising in rehabilitation with a capacity to support service users in developing self-sufficiency and community engagement are ideally positioned to benefit from such contracts. The project’s emphasis on flexible service delivery and community engagement aligns with businesses that focus on comprehensive care approaches and expertise in mental health service pathways.
