Summary of the contracting process

South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust commissioned an enhanced mental health crisis prevention service for Lambeth. The service is intended to reduce over-use of crisis pathways, including emergency departments, as a route to accessing help outside normal hours. This is a community-based mental health support service rather than a supply or construction requirement. The work is for people needing help before or instead of reaching acute crisis services, and would require close understanding of local mental health pathways and the needs of Lambeth residents. The buyer is South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, based at Bethlem Royal Hospital in Beckenham. The procurement was categorised as provision of services to the community (CPV 75200000).

The procurement used an above-threshold open procedure and comprised one lot. Two bids reached the final stage. Evaluation placed 20% on the commercial envelope and 80% on the technical and social value envelope. South East London Mind Limited was awarded the contract on 12 June 2026 for £740,016 gross, against a tender estimate of £750,000 gross. The award period ended on 1 June 2026, and the standstill period ended on 24 June 2026. The awarded contract was intended to run from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with one possible 12-month renewal. However, the contract was cancelled on 7 August 2026 because the Trust identified significant changes to the service scope and requirements.

This procurement indicates demand from the Trust for specialist community mental health crisis-prevention provision in Lambeth. A credible future supplier would need to demonstrate the ability to support people before or instead of emergency-department attendance, provide effective out-of-hours access, and work within established mental health crisis pathways. Strong technical delivery and measurable social value would be particularly important, since these together accounted for four-fifths of the evaluation. Relevant organisations are likely to include experienced mental health charities, community providers and specialist NHS partners with local knowledge, appropriately skilled staff, safeguarding arrangements and the capacity to coordinate with urgent and emergency services. The cancelled contract and stated scope changes indicate that suppliers should monitor how the Trust reshapes this specific requirement.
