Summary of the contracting process

South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust procured the Southwark Recovery Space service, a community mental health support service designed to reduce presentations at hospitals and help people resolve crises before their condition deteriorates. The work falls within the broad provision of services to the community category. It is delivered in Southwark, serving people who need support during a mental health crisis. The Trust is the buying organisation and the appointed provider is Southcroft Healthcare Lodge Ltd, based in London. The requirement is for a dedicated recovery space rather than hospital treatment, with support focused on crisis resolution and preventing escalation. Suppliers from the mental health, crisis intervention, community support and health and social care sectors would find the service most relevant.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Southcroft Healthcare Lodge Ltd was selected for the single lot, following an open procedure. The award date was 25 May 2026, and the contract was signed on 12 August 2026. The awarded and contracted value is £900,000 gross. The contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 13 September 2028, with one possible 12-month renewal taking the maximum end date to 13 September 2029. Evaluation weighted technical and social value at 60% and price at 40%. The tender deadline was 25 March 2026, enquiries closed on 12 March 2026, and the award decision period ended on 22 April 2026. One bid was received, from an SME. The requirement is recurrent.

This procurement demonstrates demand from South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust for a community-based mental health crisis service that can reduce pressure on hospitals. Competitors considering a future requirement from this buyer would need to show they can provide and manage a recovery space, support service users safely during periods of crisis, and help resolve problems before deterioration. Strong capability in mental health support, crisis intervention, community services and partnership working with an NHS mental health trust would be directly relevant. The evaluation balance shows that technical delivery and social value were more important than price, so suppliers would need a credible service model and clear community benefits alongside competitive commercial arrangements. The single bid and the appointment of a large provider indicate a requirement that can attract established organisations with sufficient operational capacity.
